Commercial and Industrial Powerplants - Future Projects and Applications

This paper is based upon SP-270 “Powerplants for Industrial and Commercial Vehicles -- A Look at Tomorrow” and the resultant discussion.

Stress is laid upon the importance of developing fuels to meet needs of future powerplants, as well as meeting state and federal regulations in regard to emissions.

In addition, discussions were held on various type powerplants --present and future -- and their features and performance. The basic conclusion is that there is a need for more horsepower in a lighter package costing less money, with greater fuel economy.
