This book focuses on gasoline compression ignition (GCI) which offers
the prospect of engines with high efficiency and low exhaust emissions
at a lower cost. A GCI engine is a compression ignition (CI) engine
which is run on gasoline-like fuels (even on low-octane gasoline),
making it significantly easier to control particulates and NOx but with
high efficiency. The state of the art development to make GCI combustion
feasible on practical vehicles is highlighted, e.g., on overcoming
problems on cold start, high-pressure rise rates at high loads,
transients, and HC and CO emissions. This book will be a useful guide to
those in academia and industry.
