Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition – Promising, sustainable future for Internal combustion engines

Stringent emission norms across the globe had forced automotive companies to develop clean technologies with lower fuel consumption for reduction of the green house gases and security of the primary energy resources. Therefore, the fuel and the engines used in transportation sector have to cope up with major challenges of improving efficiency and reducing emissions in a highly competitive era. HCCI combines the characteristics of spark-Ignition (SI) and compression Ignition (CI). HCCI engines can operate on gasoline, diesel fuel, and most alternative fuels. The internal combustion engine is the key to the modern society playing a dominant role in the automotive industry owing to their simplicity, robustness and high thermal efficiency. Alternative such as electric powered engine and others still have far way to go on a commercial scale. HCCI being a hybrid technology blending the spark ignition engine and the diesel engine offers a solution to control the emission level while meeting the norms. Commercialization of HCCI technology could be seen as a bridge to ride on before electrification of automotive industry take place on a full scale creating ample of opportunity for automotive OEMs to gain from.
