Almost all of the automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, and buses in use today are powered by either Otto-cycle or diesel-cycle internal-combustion engines. It is indicated that shifting from the present engine mix to improved diesel engines and ultimately to advanced external-combustion engines could reduce fuel consumption by one-third. The investigation begins where the engine losses occur when fuel energy is converted into transportation with the Otto-cycle engine, the single largest energy user in the transportation sector. Engine performance data are furnished for the 1969 Otto engine and data are forecast for the 1976 Otto, stratified-charge, light weight diesel, advanced gas turbine, advanced Rankine, and Stirling engines. The utilization of new devices and techniques will make possible a reasonable vehicle for the 1980s that uses less than half the fuel of present-day automobiles. (MCW)
