THE DIRECT APPROACH

Virtually all heavy-duty diesels take advantage of direct fuel injection (DI), while every diesel passenger car on the road is propelled by indirect injection (IDI) diesel. If emissions and noise restrictions can be opened up, the direct injection diesel engine would generate fuel economy gains of 10 to 20 percent over that of indirect injection diesels. This article reviews U.S. and European research and development.
