Optimizing swirl speed depending upon the engine operating condition is an effective means to increase thermal efficiency and reduce emissions, Toyota researchers noted in a paper in the R&D Review of Toyota CRDL in 2002. All combustion engines have swirl, but having variable swirl is a real difference maker for Cruze’s diesel engine.
