Diesel is dead? Not quite yet. Achates announced Friday that it has produced a heavy-duty, two-stroke diesel engine with near-zero emissions that costs less than a conventional engine and is expected ...

Kyle Hyatt (he/him/his) hails originally from the Pacific Northwest, but has long called Los Angeles home. He's had a lifelong obsession with cars and motorcycles (both old and new). When I think of ...

Car creativity knows no bounds. We’ve been over this: The VW Beetle pickup was certifiably strange, the Mercedes E430 death kart was the product of someone with the right idea, and the Nissan 350Z ...

The Detroit Diesel Corporation originally launched in 1938 as a division of General Motors, and its main purpose was to build a two-stroke engine that would combine power and versatility in a small ...

It’s a shame that Detroit Diesel no longer makes marvelous two-stroke engines, at least for novelty’s sake. Of course, they were loud, inefficient and decisively terrible for the environment, so there ...

Air motion in one cylinder of a Detroit Diesel 6V-92 two stroke diesel engine was studied under steady flow bench test conditions by a laser Doppler anemometer and an axisymmetric finite difference ...
