GC may have good reason to sit out. Technically

Technically it is a low cost major improvement to the internal combustion engine (ICE). CSRV reduces the engines cost.
It actually lends itself to production in lower tech countries because of the lack of valves, springs & cams. Each of those items require special machines. GC can ship the carbon seals alone for profit.
The rest is round stock (lathe/grind) and common casting techniques. Oh, & patent/license $.
Accepting GC's invention by elite engine manufactures would underscore the simplicity to make the engine and encourage smaller shops to jump into the market. Here is a worry, each province in China is an industry hub. They can make their own stuff and do not need Cummins.
That idea alone gives major engine manufactures nightmares to accept GC's patents, they would underwrite their own demise AND the battery today is not up to saving their collective A$$ using the electric motor as a 1:1 replacement,,,, yet.
GC is not blind to the above facts. As Indonesia, India, China, Russia, South America and others get into the CSRV idea, the leverage of time is frustrated as an advantage to Cummins and others.
GC is sitting on this while the clock ticks, wide spread emission cheating is exposed, electrics fail to materialize, sanctions are levied on diesel ships and off road machines and third world companies flood the elite engine market with nearly as reliable IC engines.
It only takes one engine company in India (Mahindra?) to make a CSRV 40 hp diesel and the world will cave in on the elite manufactures.
War torn Japan's Honda started with a moped cycle, technical innovation and took the auto world by storm. Just one man in a twice nuked country. Facts such as that are awesome and repeatable.
Buy COTE and stay long IMO
