Re-inventing the wheel? Alt engine designs could keep ICEs on the agenda

Reports of the ICE’s death have been greatly exaggerated - that’s according to David Johnson, Chief Executive of Achates Power, who describes the company as a developer of ‘radically improved internal combustion engines’ (ICEs). It’s an assertion that flies in the face of assumptions that in order to fall in line with CAFE, Euro 6 and future regulations, OEMs will invariably need to introduce new innovations such as electrification and other alternative powertrain technology.
