Abstract
The economic and industrial growth of a nation is greatly dependent upon modern means of surface transport. This is all the more so for developing countries like India where the demand for automobiles and other light and heavy vehicles is growing rapidly with the pace of economic development and industrialization. These vehicles are powered by internal combustion engines which are quite reliable and efficient. In fact presently there is no other power-plant in sight for surface transport vehicles which can compete with internal combustion (I.C.) engine in cost, size, flexibility and reliability. It appears that at least for next few decades I.C. engines will continue to have monopoly in the field of automobiles and other surface transport vehicles.
