This weeks blog post is gonna be pretty short, what with fall break and my Certified Constructors Exam looming i barely had time to read an article.
For this weeks blog post i read an article about a new diesel engine developed by Komatsu. This new engine conforms to U.S. EPA non-road Tier 4 emissions regulations; essentially it reduced its exhaust gas particulate by more than 90 percent. By utilizing computer controlled multi-injection technology this new engine cut fuel consumption and gained throttle response.
Its cool to see innovations within the equipment market that supports the construction industry that i intend to make a career out of.
I really like the idea of implementing more high efficiency diesel engines in cars. Europe has been doing it for a long time, and many of there cars are better than our hybrids. Diesel works with our infrastructure and is a great temporary solution until we become more dependent on alternative fuel. Thanks for sharing about this new highly efficient engine.
ReplyDeleteI agree with pieter, on the perks of diesel and even more so on utalizing a computerized injector to cut fuel use. People always want to push for new technology such as electric cars, but they forget it is far more effective to modify existing technology such as diesel engines.
