Tóm tắt

John Farrell, PhD, laboratory program manager for vehicle technologies at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), discusses promising new combustion and fuel technologies. According to Farrell, the internal combustion engine is not dead and is not likely to die in the near future. However, research continues to find ways to improve its efficiency and deliver a better value for consumers. Farrell oversees NREL's cross-cutting research in the sustainable transportation arena.
