Nissan has announced the production of a new kind of gasoline engine that can constantly adjust its compression rating, meaning it can always operate at peak efficiency. According to VC , the new Nissan -T engine has “the power of a turbo and the fuel economy of a diesel” and could replace diesels completely in most applications as it averages a 27 percent improvement on fuel economy than the four litre V6 engine it replaces, while maintaining comparable power and torque. Finally, the new engine is cheaper than most of next year ’s advanced, turbo-charged diesel engines, as well as meeting nitrogen oxide (NOx) and other emissions rules in certain markets without requiring costly system upgrades.
