Current road vehicles utilize relatively high speed piston engines that satisfy the drivability constraint of a road vehicle and to get a decent amount of power from a relatively small size engine. With the success of the hybrid vehicle and related technologies such as (CVT) continuously variable transmission and the electronic CVT, the drivability constraint on engine design can be removed and the use of more fuel efficient slow speed piston engines can be utilized yielding a more efficient road vehicles than those currently available. Of course, the volumetric displacement of a slower engine must be larger than that of a similar faster engine delivering same power output, but this does not necessitate that the slower engine must be heavier than the faster engine. In addition current road vehicles can accommodate bigger size engines and it is a sacrifice well paid for resulting in a more efficient road vehicle.
