Preliminary bench tests have been carried out on an original-design 2-stroke single-cylinder
prototype engine, which is equipped with an electronically controlled gasoline direct …

As more stringent emission limits and low consumption requirements also involve si 2-stroke
engines, one of the most important design modifications that can cope with these constraints …

An original 2-stroke prototype engine, equipped with an electronically controlled gasoline
direct-injection apparatus, has been tested over the last few years, and the performances of …

Gasoline direct injection in two-stroke engines has led to even more advantageous results,
in comparison with four-stroke engines, as far as unburned hydrocarbon emissions and fuel …

Experimental tests have been carried out on a single-cylinder crankcase-scavenged two-
stroke engine, with both indirect and direct gasoline injection, in order to compare the results …

Thanks to its unsurpassed power-to-weight ratio, its low package space and low-
