HERCULES-B was Phase II of the Programme, from 2008 to 2011, with 32 participating organizations and a 26 M€, budget. The general targets for emissions and fuel consumption were retained in HERCULES-B. The HERCULES-C project (2012-2015), with 22 participating organizations and a 17 M€ budget, is Phase III of the HERCULES programme and adopts an extensive integration of the multitude of new technologies identified in Phase I and Phase II, for engine processes optimization, system control, as well as engine reliability and lifetime. This chapter provides an overview of the main achievements of the major R&D programme HERCULES in the 10 years of its existence and the future prospects of the related work.
