The engine’s broad torque range allows it to run in an economical rpm range with few gear changes. Excellent torque at low revs is guaranteed by a rapid reaction to accelerator pedal pressure and enhanced low-speed performance.
Low emissions and fuel consumption are achieved by the electronic engine management system (EMS), which offers accurate fuel injection and effective combustion. Piston heads with annular grooves that force gases to be dispersed along the combustion chamber’s edges provide efficient combustion.
Additionally, the timing of the fuel injection is altered, which reduces emissions and engine noise. To help lower the noise level, a small amount of fuel is injected before the main fuel.
