A four-stroke (also four-cycle) engine is an internal combustion (IC) engine in which the piston completes four separate strokes while turning the crankshaft. A stroke refers to the full travel of the piston along the cylinder, in either direction. The four separate strokes are termed:
Four-stroke engines are the most common internal combustion engine design for motorized land transport, being used in automobiles, trucks, diesel trains, light aircraft and motorcycles. The major alternative design is the two-stroke cycle.
The exhaust emissions from four stroke engines, like other combustion engines, contain significant quantities of greenhouse gases, as well as other forms of air pollution. The use of four stroke engines in cars and other transport applications is scheduled to be phased out in some jurisdictions, and as of 2022 other major jurisdictions are considering similar proposals.
