Researchers at MIT have been testing a prototype of a new internal combustion engine design that’s said to improve fuel-efficiency by up to 25% and runs on regular petrol. Labeled homogeneous charge ...

We get frequent reminders that we are on the "bleeding edge" of autodom's electrification. And the reality is that because of huge EV production investments and battery costs, as well as range and ...

In the interest of making sure we all know they've got a mapped strategy for powertrain technology, GM is taking its message on the road. Recently, we got the chance to talk to a few of GM's experts ...

Delphi is developing an engine fuel injection technology that could improve the fuel economy of gas-powered cars by 50 percent, potentially rivalling the performance of hybrid vehicles at less cost.

Mazda Motor Corporation's new Sustainable Zoom-Zoom 2030 technology development strategy includes its petrol compression ignition engine which it will call Skyactiv-X and launch in 2019. It will be a ...

The pollutant emissions and high-energy consumption of combustion engines using conventional spark plugs have long been serious environmental problems. Now, it has been demonstrated that lasers can ...

As fuel prices continue to rise and consumer awareness and or government regulations for lower combustion emissions increase, automobile manufacturers are exploring ignition strategies to improve the ...

The benefits and shortcomings of EFI versus carburetion is a hot and ongoing battle in the hot rod community-and one that we're not going to engage in for this feature. No, for this one we're going to ...

Here at Mopar Muscle, we've built all kinds of project vehicles, from stock restored cars to full-blown race cars, but our real passion falls somewhere in between those two extremes. It's not that we ...

Don't get us wrong. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a carburetor. These largely mechanical devices have delivered precise amounts of air and fuel into engines from the very first internal ...

Modern automobiles are powered by diesel and gasoline engines, which function according to different principles. For economy and torque, diesel engines use compression ignition, but gasoline engines ...
