New GDI Engines (July 13, 2004)

Petrol engines are the most affected by the new anti-contamination laws that will be set in place at the end of this decade. Approximately 30% less efficient than turbo diesels, petrol engines will have to improve greatly to meet the new requirements.

This will arrive, according to experts, with the incorporation of the turbocharger and direct injection who in its day received diesel engines . Calculations performed to date indicate that the new gasoline motors with direct injection (GDI) improve their performance 20 to 25% compared to current models. This will give new life to petrol mechanics that account for 40% of motor vehicles that currently circulate on European roads.

Also the arrival of more efficient motors will allow for the reduction of the cubic capacity of the new engines, which will consume less.
