Unlike other technologies, Efficient-V addresses the core mechanical inefficiencies present in reciprocating piston engines. Most technologies designed to increase efficiency are ancillary technologies. For example, turbocharging, fuel injection, and hybrids are all ancillary technologies that do not address the mechanical inefficiencies present in the conventional piston engine mechanism that translates reciprocation to rotation.

Efficient-V addresses significant issues:

• Rising fuel and energy costs
• Worldwide demand for increased efficiency and reduced emissions
