GLOSSARY
HIGH-PRESSURE DIRECT
INJECTION DIESEL ENGINE
Our HDi diesel engines operate with the fuel under
extremely high pressure, enabling microscopically
precise injection control. With this level of management
it's possible to inject at different times during the same
engine stroke allowing total control over the combustion
process. This has allowed our engineers to reduce carbon
monoxide emissions by 40%, unburned hydrocarbons
by 50% and engine particulates by 60%. Fuel
consumption is 20% lower than a prechamber diesel
engine, resulting in an equivalent reduction in CO
emissions and thanks to the torque available at low engine
speed it could be argued that driveability is now better than
in petrol engined cars.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
SYSTEM (DPFS)
Our unique DPFS collects exhaust particulates (soot)
that would have been bound for the air around us and
burns them off at 550 degrees C. This means that 'black
smoke' is eliminated completely. And because the filter is
constantly burning the particulates it is self-cleaning and
requires no maintenance.
