2-stroke diesel is the (near) future?

I believe that if you look at modern diesels currently being produced
and sold, you'll find virtually NONE rated at more than 50-60 horsepower
that are not turbo-supercharged. And equally few that are strictly
mechanically blown (the Detroit Diesel 2-strokes are no longer in
production). The VAST majority are, indeed, turbo-supercharged.


Not true of some of our school busses that were produced in the past 5 or so
years. They make up for the lack of super or turbocharging with more cubic
inches.

I say AGAIN... what percentage of the market is that? Tiny. And they
only TRY to make up with more cubic inches- a DT466E would run rings
around them.

I was not taking issue with the tiny percentage concept. I did take issue
with the following, and the NONE

Not a big deal to me, one way or the other. I always found the non turbo
buses under powered, compared to their turbo brothers.
