Excerpt

The new 0.9 l gasoline turbocharged two-cylinder engine represents a milestone in engine development at Fiat Powertrain Technologies. The so called Twinair engine is an excellent example of extreme downsizing: not only the overall displacement but also total number of cylinders are limited. Thanks to the turbocharging and the adoption of the Multiair technology excellent performances are reached, equalling those of 50?% larger displacement NA engines, while improving fuel economy by at least 25?%. Emission levels meet the current Euro 5 standards while the overall system is package-protected to reach the future Euro 6 standards. Thanks to the overall optimisations it was possible to set new standards for small engine NVH. …
