silvrsvt Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/8/16099536/mazda-compression-ignition-engine-technology The setup is basically what’s known as homogenous charge compression ignition, and it’s based off of lots of existing technology that other companies have long looked into. Ford and General Motors are just two companies that have been experimenting with it in the last decade or so, but haven’t been able to put it into production yet. Mazda released few other details about the engine other than it would be released in 2019, likely in the new Mazda 3. It’s expected the compression ignition engines will replace most, if not all, of the company’s internal combustion engines around the start of the next decade. Around that time, Mazda said it would start testing autonomous driving technologies in order to make them standard on all of its vehicles by 2025 Should be interesting how this plays out.

rmc523 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Wasn't Ford talking about this type of thing a few years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) Combine this with the camless engine Koenwskodebdoenspegg is using and that could be a seriously efficient engine Edit days later because read your post dufus ?

jpd80 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 The next advance in gasoline engines beyond the limitations of spark ignition. HCCI has no flame front, no hot spots, no rich areas that can generate soot, lots of good ideas.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Mary3 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Maybe, but electric vehicle technology will not be standing still. And the Europeans seem to be in lock-step outlawing internal-combustion engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The other option is adoption of hydrogen and give the ICE another lease of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The other option is adoption of hydrogen and give the ICE another lease of life. Wouldn't that be a hyrdogen fuel cell rather than an ICE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
