Engine Testing and Evaluation of Commercially Available Steels for Next Generation Diesel Engine Pistons: Updated 1

Abstract

Expert Committee's Recommendations: Liquid hydrocarbon fuels "should serve as the primary sources of power and energy for the forseeable future" (through 2035) Engine Efficiency: Continue investing in technology to improve the tank-to-wheel conversion efficiency of a vehicle, to include high efficiency diesel engines Electrification: Develop hybrid electric vehicles with internal combustion (IC) engines, and/or partial vehicle electrification concepts, not battery electric vehicles Multi-fuel engines: Use diesel and biodiesel to supplement jet fuel (e.g. JP-8, F-24) as the mission allows.
