How engine design has evolved to boost fuel efficiency, and where it's going from here.

Hybrids vehicles are great alternatives to traditional vehicles, but since they still use conventional fuel, they contribute ...

Meet the MPG king of full-size non-hybrid pickup trucks - whether you like it or not.

Getting from A to B by most means of transport is polluting; incomplete combustion of fuels releases soot and unburned fuel into the atmosphere, along with greenhouse gases such as carbon monoxide and ...

A key enabler is the newly redesigned aftertreatment system, which uses trusted components in a smarter and more efficient ...

Every fleet strives to achieve two things when it comes to engines. The first is to maintain efficiency in order to reduce operating and service costs. The other is to ensure the longest possible ...

There's more to piston shapes than you might think. Whether it's domed, flat, or dished, all pistons have their fair share of pros and cons when it comes to performance and efficiency. Understand that ...

Kyle Hyatt (he/him/his) hails originally from the Pacific Northwest, but has long called Los Angeles home. He's had a lifelong obsession with cars and motorcycles (both old and new). One of the cool ...

Pratt & Whitney thinks the aerospace industry might need a bit more time to achieve a broad goal of squeezing at least 20% more efficiency out of the next generation of narrowbody aircraft engines.

One famous limit of thermodynamics is that heat engines, like steam engines and internal combustion engines, must be less efficient than a Carnot heat engine (a heat engine cycle designed by French ...

A schematic illustration of the biochemical heat engine model that achieves maximum power while approaching Carnot efficiency. The left panel shows the two-state engine, where the higher energy state ...
