Mazda is doing interesting work here combining the spark ignition and diesel ICE techs ... compress the fuel to almost the point of self ignition, inject a tad more into the vortex and ignite the center, creating a compression wave which ignites the rest of the fuel ... more power, more torque at lower rpm, improved efficiency.
