Pinnacle Engines
Pinnacle Engines is a global high-efficiency engine company. Pinnacle has developed an ultra-efficient engine design based on a four-stroke, spark-ignited (SI) opposed-piston sleeve-valve architecture using conventional engine manufacturing technology.
The efficiency gains have been independently verified by FEV, and in drive cycle simulations performed by Pinnacle demonstrate 30 – 50% efficiency improvements. The result is a powertrain system that provides dramatic reductions in both fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without increasing the vehicle cost, while meeting existing and projected emissions standards.
Pinnacle is commercializing the technology now, and will be launching our first products in conjunction with a major Asian vehicle OEM in early 2013.
