This paper outlines the objectives of the Light Duty Vehicle Diesel Engine Assessment program and the work tasks required to accomplish the same. The power plant and vehicle requirements for the future automobile are presented. The important related economic and technical parameters are ranked. The potentially promising engine concepts and advanced technologies available to meet those requirements are identified and discussed. Conceptual evaluation has disclosed a moderate speed, four stroke, high BMEP diesel engine which is compounded by a positive displacement screw expander and compressor. The power plant will be adiabatic with no cooling water and of minimum friction design with no oil for lubrication. Reliance on advanced materials and technologies is stressed.
