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 ...

Diesel exhaust contains a lower level of hydrocarbons, which serve as the reductant for the NOx catalyst, than gasoline engine exhaust. An investigation was made of several methods for maximizing the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Knowing the inner workings of a vehicle comes with its set of benefits. You know the risks associated with potential issues, understand the causes, and can quickly fix things DIY-style. It is ...
