Alternatives To Four-stroke Engines Promise An Increase In Efficiency

What, then, are the innovations in internal combustion engine design that will carry us through the next decade or so, meeting the need to increase efficiency and reduce emissions? For one, earlier this year the Scuderi Group unveiled a proof-of-concept prototype split-cycle engine. The new engine, which its designers claim has the ability to revolutionise the long-term viability of the internal combustion engine, was unveiled as a naturally aspirated one-litre petrol unit (Fig.1). Scuderi Group expects it to produce up to 80 per cent fewer toxins than a typical internal combustion engine and, when fully developed with turbocharged and air-hybrid components, to achieve significant gains in fuel efficiency.
