According to fleet executives as well as fleet maintenance managers, the death of the internal combustion engine may prove to be greatly exaggerated in spite of the excitement about electric powertrains. Industry leaders have been working to give the basic piston engine an extended life.
The secret to this life extension for ICEs lies in the use of greener fuels as they allow reduced cost of fuel and maintenance for fleets while at the same time reducing greenhouse gases. These newer engines will also have a much easier time keeping up with stringent upcoming emission standards for primary pollutants like NOx, particulates and unburned hydrocarbons.
