Ricardo Develops Ethanol-Fueled Engine Prototype with Diesel-like Efficiency

摘要

Automotive technology company Ricardo announced Friday that it has developed a flexible-fuel engine prototype "that exceeds gasoline engine efficiency and approaches levels previously reached only by diesel engines." The technology, Ethanol Boosted Direct Injection, "has the performance of diesel, at the cost of ethanol, and runs on ethanol, gasoline or a blend of both," said Ricardo President Dean Harlow.
