"Previous two-stroke designs were quickly banished as emissions standards started to get tougher. The design is such that unburned fuel and lubricating oils are released through the exhaust, causing emissions to be much higher. However, EcoMotors believes its design has overcome this challenge."
The article seems woefully vague on the details here. How do they overcome this challenge? Having lived in a country where there were some two stroke cars allowed on the road, believe me it is no fun. A two stroke subcompact used to generate more smoke and fouler smell than a freaking 18 wheeler (and yes I am talking about the Trabant).
So one would have to be extra sure that they have overcome this challenge before believing any of their hype. I would be very suspicious of any car that actually burns lubricant.
