A Boxer Engine In A Class C??? Yes/No?
So all you gear heads out there, could you imagine a Boxer engine powering a B+, Class C, or Super C Motor Home? You'll probably say no, but before you nix that idea, check out the FORD 2017 F-150 wit...

There are a lot of interesting engine improvements just waiting to be used, be it the one in the video, "six stroke" engines that use water turning to steam as a way to use the heat in the block for more efficiency, variable compression technology, and many more.
What competes with this will be electric motors, where the engine winds up running at optimal RPM, charging up a battery bank, and the electric motors do the heavy lifting.
When series hybrid vehicles become mainstream (basically electric cars with the IC engine acting as a generator), gas/diesel engines will definitely be taking a different tack for evolution, because they will need to run at a single RPM at all times, as opposed to worrying about power bands and torque/HP curves.
