The new 3-cylinder PSA PEUGEOT-CITROEN PureTech 1.2 e-THP - A real breakthrough in terms of fuel consumption and driveability

摘要

In order to fulfill PSA's strong commitment to reduce its European fleet's CO_2 emissions to 95g/km by 2020, PSA has developed a new modular family of 3-cylinder engines. This PureTech family, composed of 1.0l and 1.2l naturally aspirated PFI engines and 1.2l Turbocharged Direct Injection engines, covers the power range from 50 kW to 96 kW. It features the most advanced product and manufacturing technology and will be deployed worldwide. The new PureTech 1.2l Turbocharged Direct Injection engine is the best illustration of PSA Peugeot Citroen's downsizing strategy. Its maximum power of 96 kW, peak torque of 230 Nm, high torque at low rpm and a mean fuel economy improvement of 18% (21% on a 308 vehicle) compared to the 1.6 NA Valvetronic engine it replaces constitute a perfect balance between fuel economy and fun to drive. It benefits from all PSA knowhow based on eight year of production of Gasoline Turbo-charged Direct Injection engines rewarded by 7 Engine Of the Year Awards. In order to meet our customers' requirements, significant improvements have been developed with respect to high-efficiency combustion, high specific torque and power design, mass reduction, lower friction losses and optimized NVH
