Print Edition StoriesVehicle engine developer Scuderi Group LLC of West Springfield has reported that modeling against “high economy” European vehicles shows that Scuderi Engine achieves an efficiency of 65 miles per gallon while emitting less CO2.
Scuderi Group is developing what it calls a split engine that divides the four strokes of a combustion cycle between two cylinders with one cylinder handling intake and compression while the other cylinder handles combustion and exhaust. The company claims that the split-cycle concept helps to reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency versus a conventional engine.
In the model that showed the Scuderi Engine getting 65 MPG, the competing European vehicles achieved 52 MPG. The simulations were commissioned by Scuderi Group and conducted by Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas.
Scuderi Group was collecting data to demonstrate its engine’s efficiency for potential OEMs.
Earlier this year, Scuderi Group announced an expansion in Japan, with the opening of a headquarters in Nagoya
