The increasing shortage of world oil reserves has made economy, low fuel consumption and low emissions increasingly important. As a consequence, diesel cars are now offered or will soon be offered by all major producers of passenger cars. Present diesel engines for passenger cars are all based on the chamber principle. Especially the lower noise level and the increased power per liter have made the diesel engine suitable also for compact vehicles with a weight of less than 1000 kg. In spite of some uncertainties to be expected of the future, the following points can be stressed as future requirements on diesel engines: 1) Meeting of future emission restrictions world-wide. 2) Consumption of 20-30% less fuel than the Otto engine.
