Major European cities such as Madrid and Paris are discriminating against diesel engines due to officials’ concerns about the types of pollution oil-burners produce...The four-cylinder EcoBlue is the most advanced diesel engine Ford has ever produced. Starting with a clean sheet, engineers focused on developing an engine that has very low internal friction.

Gasoline is more volatile and gas engines have hv. sparks
Autocorrect. I waw curious what six you were driving that had acceleration on the other side of meh
It’s closer to “yeah”.
Drove a rental that had a six that barely was able to get out of it’s own way.
Whether it was that Pontiac G6 V6 specifically or not, dunno.
But it didn’t like moving when told to do so.
By contrast, drove a V6 5 valve that was the very devil to keep to the speed limit because it kept creeping up the speed.
What is?
The only v6 5 valve I can find was Audi 1999?
Heh heh heh.
I take it you are not happy
Take it however you want.
We agree there, friction is not necessary for compression, but friction will be an ever present parasite.
Because it's interesting?
Chevy cruze has a diesel....i test drove one.
Nice torque...decent hp....so what kind of gearing can work with this to insure high mileage (without cheating)?what are realizable mpg goals?
From the picture it looks like Ford got the Formula for Transparent Aluminum from Scotty.
Either that, or it’s a no Compression Engine.
It’s not an actual engine.
>>>It’s not an actual engine<<<
I am aware of that. (Staring blankly at my Monitor)
Yes, it’s a cutaway engine. I was making a Joke.
Are you not familiar with the Star Trek Movie where Scotty gives a 20th Century Foundry Owner the “formula” for Transparent Aluminum?
Thus being able to see inside the Engine.
How about the fact that the Cutaway Engine has big holes in it (preventing any compression)?
OR, you were just being facetious. I’ll go with that. LOL
I hope Ford is very successful with this engine.
There is no reason for the world to reject diesel engines.
Good to Go.
Oh. I guess you only like them old skool engines that are dependable and last a long time. ;)
Friction doesn’t cause the compression - a tight seal and enough of a compression stroke do that - plus, the pistons aren’t the only area where friction can be reduced...materials and lubricants may allow for a very close-tolerance fit and lower friction at the same time.
I think this is for cars...................
