English abstract:
It has been shown a new fuel saving and CO2 reduction vehicle concept; combustion process for CNG direct injection
Due to the possibility of Scavenging Low-End-Torque for CNG could be increased
Compared with gasoline the high octane number of CNG allows the increase of the engine torque
By modification of piston and crankshaft drive according higher peak cylinder pressures  additional potential can be realized
Condition for achieving the full-load potential is an optimized injector design
Results: ambitious target for 50 g CO2/km should be possible with CNG and an ultralight vehicle concept
