Gasoline Direct Injection Particulate Study

Gasoline Direct Injection Particulate Study

Report no. 10/16: Two modern Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) light duty vehicles have been tested to investigate the effect of oxygenates (mainly ethanol) on particulates – both mass and number, fuel economy and regulated emissions. The GDI vehicles used in this...
Spark versus compression ignition in a new energy environment

Spark versus compression ignition in a new energy environment

Dieselisation of the fuel market is accelerating as commercial transport increases and as the fuel consumption of new passenger cars decreases. At the same time, the recent US revolution in shale gas and tight oil is putting new pressure on worldwide refining as more...
