The article proposes a phenomenological model of a passenger car. The model includes the biomechanical model of human bodies in the sitting position of Muksian and Nash acting as passengers, while the driver’s weight has been reduced to the concentrated weight of the loading seat. The research carried out in this study consisted of passing the vehi...

The paper presents results of SI engine tests, carried on for different gaseous fuels. The analysis carried out made it possible to define the correlation between fuel composition and engine operating parameters. Tests cover various gaseous mixtures: methane with hydrogen and LPG with DME. The first group, considered as low carbon content fuels, ca...
