Fuel mass flow comparison shows Pinnacle engine ahead at just about all points in the map. Right now, the emissions standard in the target market is Euro 4. We did another study with FEV, projecting our data onto a turbo downsized application; we get nearly 50% improvements in common automobiles. Click to enlarge.

Although real-world fuel economy improvements from GDI technology alone are close to 1.5%, they can reach 8% by downsizing and turbocharging the engine, which can be achieved on GDI engines without loss of power compared to PFI engines. All the vehicles were tested using commercial gasoline that met the summertime California fuel standards.

3 B-Cycle gasoline engine is the first example of Volkswagen’s “Rightsizing” strategy—an engine development strategy that looks to for the optimal balance of displacement, output, torque and efficiency based on vehicle class and real-world operating conditions, rather than just seeking to downsize. By comparison, the 2017 Tiguan with 2.0L

Compared to new diesel engines, the Delphi team found that BSFC for GDCI at light loads was comparable or better, and at high loads was about 5% higher. For this reason, GDCI is a good candidate for aggressive downsizing, downspeeding, and boosting, which is a proven strategy for high vehicle-level fuel economy. 35% (PFI baseline).
