In recent years two methods, namely downsizing and downspeeding, were established on the market to reduce CO 2 emissions while maintaining the driving performance of engines with identical effective power but a larger displacement. The greatest reduction potential (4.5%) is provided by a combination of all the methods examined (variant IV).

Methanol first surfaced as a potentially interesting transportation fuel in the wake of the oil crisis in 1973. Researchers at the US EPA investigating this approach concluded that the M85 and E85 engines could provide efficiencies comparable or higher than the diesel, in dedicated fuel, high compression ratio turbo charged/downsized engines.
