Problem Statement
Statement of Work (sample)
Worldwide consumption of fossil fuels exceeds 13Mbbl/day.
Known reserves are forecasted to last for the next 50 years.
Per diem consumption of fossil fuels must decrease in order
to extend the current standard of living.
Mission
Timeframe
Resources
3 parts
Propose areas within the transportation industry that would
result in an accumulative five percent increase in drivetrain efficiency
that can be implemented within 5 years for less than $500 of production costs.

I.C. Engine
The market for internal combustion engines exceeds $60 billion dollars annually.
There are 769 engine manufacturers in over 90 countries with over 142 million
engines produced annually. Over 54,000,000 engines are manufactured annually
for the automotive and light truck market. Non-transportation markets include
electric generators, industrial and construction equipment, power tools, and
recreational vehicles.
