Volvo has been testing Bio-DME in Sweden since 2009. However, a new injection system is required; because DME has half the energy density of diesel, twice the volume of the fuel must be injected to offer comparable diesel performance. Earlier post.). The base engine of the new DME engine will be identical to the D13 13-liter diesel.

One company that’s hoping to reduce our battery anxiety is Exeger , which wants to enable self-charging devices that convert ambient light into energy on the go. So our solar cell can convert any light energy to electrical energy. So as soon as you get more energy efficiency, you pack them with more functionality.
