Drive cycle fuel economy for PFI, CDC, and multi-mode RCCI operation. Among their findings were that multi-mode RCCI has the potential to offer greater than 15% fuel economy improvement over a 2009 gasoline PFI baseline over many light-duty driving cycles, despite the lack of complete drive cycle coverage for RCCI mode.

Using advanced computational fluid dynamics software developed by the University of Wisconsin, BRP crafted the entire engine around the moment of combustion and developed the first outboard engine block designed specifically for direct-injection technology. The E-TEC incorporates pistons made from a new alloy originally developed by NASA.

The dual-fuel PCCI strategy showed thermal efficiency of 53%. Emissions under the dual-fuel concept, at 11 bar IMEP. The University of Wisconsin concept proposes the use of dual fuel tanks, with port fuel injection of gasoline and direct injection of diesel, with the in-cylinder mixing of the fuels.
