Technology Enablers for Advanced GCI engines -- Research Direction for GCI Engine Development -- Fuel Effect on the Development of Gasoline Compression Ignition Mode in a Light Duty Engine at Low Load -- A study to improve engine efficiency and emission characteristics in GCI engines: The Effect of Exhaust Residual Gas, Ignition Control Strategy, Gasoline Biodiesel Ratio and Intake Port Modification Investigation -- Gasoline Compression Ignition Engines: Ignition, Combustion Rate Control, Spray-Wall Impingement, and CO/UHC Formation -- Opposed Piston Gasoline Compression Ignition -- Development of Spark Assisted Gasoline Compression Ignition (SA-GCI) Engine Strategies.

This book focuses on gasoline compression ignition (GCI) which offers the prospect of engines with high efficiency and low exhaust emissions at a lower cost. A GCI engine is a compression ignition (CI) engine which is run on gasoline-like fuels (even on low-octane gasoline), making it significantly easier to control particulates and NOx but with high efficiency. The state of the art development to make GCI combustion feasible on practical vehicles is highlighted, e.g., on overcoming problems on cold start, high-pressure rise rates at high loads, transients, and HC and CO emissions. This book will be a useful guide to those in academia and industry. .
