However, not all innovations are equal, and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

Various single and split injection schemes are studied to provide a better understanding of fuel distribution during cold starting in Dl diesel engines. Improved spray-wall interaction, fuel film and ...

You're looking at the world's smallest direct-injection diesel currently in production. Built by Mercedes, this 799cc three-cylinder oilburner weighs just 190 pounds and powers the $16,750 smart ...

Direct injection. Just about every car has it now, and those that don’t probably will in the next few years. It can add power, reduce emissions, and is a big part of why just about everybody is ...

Diesel engines lack the spark of gas engines, both literally and figuratively. They don't need a spark plug since they ignite the fuel using only compression, but also lack the 'je ne sais quoi' that ...

In the late 1990s, the automotive industry had great expectations for gasoline (petrol) direct injection (GDI). The technology was heralded as the panacea for fuel economy and emissions, with a ...

It's an amazing time when there's new technology in the industry as it forces a new rivalry in speed parts, and direct-injection is firmly in the high-performance arena whether anyone likes it or not.

The once-almighty Mitsubishi Motors may have relegated themselves to building cheap small cars and Nissan-derived crossovers, but it was an indomitable powerhouse of innovation back in the day.

Sandia National Laboratories researchers (left to right: Nathan Harry, Christopher Nilsen, Drummond Biles, and Charles Mueller) show off their prototype of ducted fuel injection module for diesel ...
