For over hundred years the internal combustion engine has been applied as the drive of various vehicles and it is continuously improved. The most important requirements that should be satisfied by future engines concern reduction in fuel consumption and exhaust emissions preserving possibly low cost of engine manufacturing. In order to fulfill such demands a concept of so called "downsizing" has been proposed which concept is based on high values of mean effective pressure, and as a consequence high mechanical and thermal loads. Further increase of engine power per liter is still possible but new materials are needed in order to keep the manufacturing costs at the reasonable level. The paper presents an analysis of operational conditions of selected parts of supercharged engines constructed according to the downsizing concept and shows areas where the use of new materials could be most profitable. Results of engine tests carried out using modernized catalytic reactors and pistons in which advantages of the carbon nanotubes unique properties were deliberately taken have been presented in this paper as well. The obtained results allow to conclude that the nanotube layer over the piston skirt offers the friction losses reduction by as much as 16% relative to the whole engine. The observed properties of nanotubes can be profitable in a number of applications indicated in the paper.
