1. Introduction	History of the ICE Impact of ICE on petroleum consumption and CO2 emissions.
Fundamentals, technologies and emissions	Basic principles, types of the ICE: 2-stroke, 4-stroke, Wankel and Atkinson cycle. Gasoline versus Diesel Engine Construction principles: valve train, pistons, crankshaft, oil circuit and cooling circuit Gasoline mixture preparation: intake manifold, valve timing, PFI and GDI Diesel mixture preparation: injection pressure, injector geometry Supercharging: turbo and blower Emissions: constituents (HC, CO, Nox, etc.), catalyst evolution, euro limits
Fuels and future perspectives	Fuel formulation: performance impact, emissions, alternative fuels (biobased, Natural gas, synthetic fuels) Fuel Consumption: downsizing, specific fuel consumption, driver impacts Dual fuel (gas and Diesel) Future tendencies to improve the ICE efficiency: HCCI, cylinder deactivation, materials, concepts PHEV Plug-In Hybrid Electrical Vehicle, Electrical Vehicles, Hydrogen
