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 ...

A Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition engine can achieve 60 percent thermal efficiency. That's incredible. By Chris Perkins Published: Apr 23, 2018 12:00 PM EDT ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...
