Industry sees combustion technology improvements as critical

In January 2016 Autelligence surveyed several hundred industry executives on the significance of future automotive powertrain upgrades. 85% of respondents rated engine powertrain improvements as "important" or "very important" to meet future fuel economy regulations. Combustion technologies were rated far ahead of alternative approaches such as electrification or lightweighting.
