Independent study confirms cost savings & emissions advantages for heavy-duty trucks running ClearFlame’s engine technology

Green Car Congress

Because this technology allows the engine to continue to operate on an MCCI diesel-like cycle, the engine maintains the high thermal efficiency and torque of traditional diesel engines. ClearFlame-based engine technology uses MCCI to maintain diesel engine cycle efficiency and torque. In fact, it increases power by 25%.
