Toyota/Shell Study: 12% Fuel-Economy Boost with FT Diesel in Optimized Engine

摘要

A new study by researchers at Toyota, Showa-Shell and Japan’s “New A.C.E Institute” finds that Fischer-Tropsch (FT) diesel not only will cut tailpipe emissions in diesel vehicles (as demonstrated in numerous prior studies) but also can improve fuel economy by about 12% in optimized engines – despite FT diesel’s relatively low density.
