Currently, new technological solutions and clean, renewable energy sources can only partially reduce dependence on fossil fuels. It will take a very long time before this becomes a reality.
Thermal efficiency is a measure of the fuel efficiency of an internal combustion engine, providing fuel economy and emissions reduction performance. Since the world’s first Diesel engine was successfully launched in 1897, after hundreds of years of improvement and innovation, thermal efficiency has only increased by 26% until now it has only reached 46%.
However, with increasingly strict emission standards regulations, improving thermal efficiency is becoming more difficult than ever. Even some commercial projects in the US and Europe only reach 48%, the 50% level is only achieved in the laboratory. The highest thermal efficiency of a gasoline engine today is 50% (1.6L V6) installed on Mercedes’ Project One line. The most popular type today is Toyota’s Dynamic Force Engine, which achieves 40% thermal efficiency (41% in the Hybrid version).
