Innovation - Saab Combustion Control (SCC) Engine
An automobile engine that digests its own pollutants. In four years, all of California and most of New England will insist on automobiles that pump out extremely low emissions to meet standards that are almost unimaginable given today's technology. Saab's combustion-control engine has leapfrogged the manufacturers still studying fuel cells, methanol fuels, and electrics by reinventing an ordinary internal-combustion gasoline power plant that recycles unburned components of its exhaust. The miracle is that not only is engine performance enhanced in the process but fuel consumption decreases by 10 percent. This remarkable technology reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 10 percent and other emissions by as much as 75 percent.
