LEAN BURN ENGINES FOR LOW EXHAUST EMISSIONS

BL Technology has carried out a long term investigation into the development of lean burn gasoline engines with the object of meeting future emission standards at minimum cost and with best vehicle performance and fuel economy. To date the 4V engine appears to give the best lean burn performance and the use of such an engine in a low emission vehicle concept is described in this paper.
