Being under strength development for a number of years, they have already reached a relatively high level of technical excellence and now they also produce acceptable output parameters. Still, they are not devoid of drawbacks. Harmful exhaust emissions can be pointed as the most important here. This problem is the main focus of interest for automotive researchers and engineers. Continuous decrease of exhaust emission limits additionally intensifies their efforts to produce more green engines and vehicles. On the other hand, rapid development of road transportation and the growth of end-users’ demands toward more and more comfortable, durable, reliable and fuel-saving vehicles unceasingly calls for improvements in engine design and technology. Despite many attempts, replacing the internal combustion engine with other, but equally effective power source still fails. Therefore, extensive works on the improvement of internal combustion engines should be carried out and the results need to be widely published. As the answer to above expectations, this book on internal combustion engines brings out few chapters on the research activities through the wide range of current engine issues. The first section groups combustion-related papers including all research areas from fuel delivery to exhaust emission phenomena. The second one deals with various problems on engine design, modeling, manufacturing, control and testing. Such structure should improve legibility of the book and helps to integrate all singular chapters as a logical whole. We wish to thank InTech Publisher and are especially pleased to express same thanks to Ms. Viktorija Žgela for giving us an invitation and opportunity to be editors of the book on internal combustion engines. Distinctive thanks are also due to Ms. Romana Vukelić and Ms. Marina Jozipović, and Publishing Process Staff for their help in coordinating the reviews, editing and printing of the book.
