Additives for Improving the Fuel Economy of Diesel Engine Systems

Due to tightening CO2 emission regulations and increasing fuel prices, fuel economy has become one of the greatest issues facing society today. Although molybdenum dithiocarbamate (MoDTC) is a well-known friction modifier for gasoline engines, it has rarely been applied to a diesel application becau...
