Abstract
This first edition report, written by leading industry commentator Jeff
Daniels, reviews the key market drivers for both petrol and diesel engines. It
provides an authoritative overview of both the technology issues (both present
and future), and regulatory (emissions) concerns involved with this sector.
The report provides answers to such vital questions as:
- How viable is the HCCI principle, and will it prove more commercially
successful than the fuel cell vehicle?
- What are the main challenges to vehicle engine designers, in terms of
emission regulation compliance?
- How do distinctly different consumer preferences in the three main regions
complicate both engine design and product planning?
- Will the development of diesel hybrids finally ignite European interest in
the hybrid concept?
- Will the fuel cell establish itself as the true power unit of the future,
or will it lose its way?
