Bill Gates invested $23m in this engine. It is an opposed piston 2-stroke
engine - not new at all. They have put an electric clutch between the two
cylinders so one can be switched in or out. The exhaust/electric motor
turbo is good, which acts as a genny as well being turned by the exhaust.
An electric motor can be in the crank to have an integrated hybrid.
It is half the size and weight of a conventional diesel engine, with half
the fuel consumption and less than half the moving parts.

They claim they will have a 100mpg 5 seater car in 18 months or so. They
claim a brief case sized genny as well and cogen applications. The VW diesel
engine designer designed it.
