CDTi was unveiled in 2013 at the Geneva Motor Show in the Zafira Tourer. Fuel pressure is 2000 bar (29,000 psi). Built with an aluminum block and head, the engine features a new combustion system (with variable swirl) and is also equipped with a variable displacement oil pump and ECU-controlled piston cooling jets.

Evolution of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the EU-28 from 1990 to 2016. The 2015 target of 130 g CO 2 /km was already met in 2013, 2 years before the deadline. Oil consumption by the transport sector will need to fall by more than two-thirds to meet the objective of reducing consumption by 70% by 2050 compared with 2008 levels.
