An overview of the DOE/NASA Automotive Stirling Engine project is presented. The backgeound and objectives are reviewed. Project activities are described and technical progress and status are presented and assessed. Prospects for achieving the objective 30 percent fuel economy improvement are considered good. The key remaining technology issues are primarily related to life, reliability and cost, such as piston rod seals, and low cost heat exchangers. (ERA citation 08:041486)
