M100-VEHICLES. PLANNING, DEVELOPMENT

Experience of the M100-project and of new concepts of alcohol fuel spark ignition engines has led to the following proposal for continued development. Continued operation of some of the test cars to reach greater experience of wear problems and to be able to make modifications concerning engine heating time, start gas consumption and exhaust gas purification. Measurement of evaporation emissions and exhaust gas emissions on modified and new concepts through standardized procedures and in particular by cold driving cycles and different methanol fuels (M100-M85)0. -Field tests of new developed concepts with advanced exhaust gas purfication; of particular interest would be "lean burn" engines and "flexible fuel vehicles." -Further efforts on material problems in fuel systems.
