“We have already recorded fuel consumption improvements of up to 10 percent on a 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline direct injection engine, and there is potential for further improvements,” said Kristapher Mixell, Federal-Mogul’s director, advanced corona ignition system development, Powertrain Energy. “Our Advanced Corona Ignition System is a game-changing technology that also makes other combustion improvements possible.”
