Abstract
Due to changing economic, technical and social environments and resulting customer demands, future vehicle drive systems will be required to have lower pollutant emissions and greater efficiency, leading to a CO2 reduction. Combining the advantages of the petrol and diesel combustion processes is a way of achieving these objectives. In the Group Research — Drive Systems of Volkswagen, this implementation is referred to as the Combined Combustion System CCS.
