Diesel performance—power, if you will—is all about how a compression-ignition engine is fueled. A diesel will make great torque with a richer (more volume) fuel supply.

Mazda’s powertrain team has brewed up a fancy new engine that, like a diesel, uses compression to activate the combustion process. In a press release on the new tech, Mazda tells us just how ...

Yesterday at the Tokyo Motor Show, Mazda released new info on its highly anticipated compression-ignition Skyactiv-X engine. It's all a bit daunting if you're not an engineer, but helpfully, Mazda ...

Diesel engines are pretty different to gas engines, and that extends to cold starts. Cold starts can somewhat hurt a diesel ...

Diesel engines don’t have spark plugs; instead, they use the super-heated air created by their high compression ratios to ignite the diesel fuel as it’s injected into the cylinder.

First and foremost, all modern diesel engines operate on the principle of compression-ignition. ... for example – this typical diesel truck engine compresses the air at a 19:1 ratio.

Unlike spark-ignition gas engines or compression-ignition diesel engines that have a combustion process characterized by growth of a flame front from a single point in the combustion chamber, HCCI ...

Mazda has revealed that it will introduce a new gas engine that uses compression ignition as part of its long-term tech development dubbed "Sustainable Zoom-Zoom 2030."Called Skyactiv-X, the new ...
