A two stroke Compression Ignion Engine (diesel)

[mulkbear]

I have just been looking though my old collage notes/books and looking at the Two stroke Diesel engine a wondered if the engine has ever been fitted to a Motor vehicle ?

I know a lot of Large Ship engines are two stroke diesel and the worlds largest diesel engine is a two stroke engine.

I know that Genrael motor devloped a small Two stroke engine (fitted with a super charger) that could be fitted to a vehicle but peak power was at 2000rpm and peak revs was around 3000rpm

So was a car/van ever made or fitted with a 2 stroke diesel engine ?

Two strokes are notorious polluters, since there is a huge overlap at the exhaust stage (essentially unburnt fuel is mixed with exhaust gasses). Therefore I think it unlikely that a two stroke would be fitted to commercial or consumer vehicles

There has been, I'm sure it was a comma van with a 2 stoke diesel and a supercharger. Might be wrong.

I think that some early prototype diesel landie's were 2 stroke using turner diesels i've seen one

You are quite right about the commer it was a 3 cylinder opposed piston known as a TS3. very noisy i seem to remember
