Pretty interesting system for sure. The engineers were from the EPA and were using UPS as a test platform. They said they had s similar system in a test Ford Expedition. In that they said their goal was to make an Expedition tow and perform as well as a stock model but using this technology and see how small an engine they could use. They were able to use the motor from the Ford Escort in the Expedition and still have it tow and perform the same as stock. I asked if they thought it would see production and they kind of laughed. The UPS truck maybe but the Ford, not too likely. Maybe they will wait until Toyota or Honda pick it up and run with it. Since they are the EPA they have to work with an American company so they have no choice. They also had other ideas they were working on like a crankshaft free engine where the pistons fire on both ends and shoot back and forth in the same cylinder. I didn't totally understand how it actually got the power out of the engine on that one. Anyway, it's the EPA whose developing this one.
