This was in Torvec's last 10Q report:

The development of our new pump design has taken on added significance in light of recent U.S. Government emissions regulations for off road diesel engines that will take effect in the near future. These regulations will require diesel engines to pollute less. To help achieve these new standards, companies are attempting to run the diesel engines, and thus their hydraulic pumps, at lower rotational speeds. This requires larger displacement hydraulic pumps to be installed to compensate for the decrease in rotational speed. Among other advantages, the unique technology of the Torvec hydraulic pump allows a larger displacement pump to fit into the same or smaller footprint than that of existing pumps. This enables manufacturers to keep the current equipment layout without the need for expensive modifications to accommodate larger hydraulic pumps.
