We see dramatic downsizing and boosting [as] something that’s going to for gasoline engines especially. The basic approach of the downsized 3-cylinder gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine is to reduce engine displacement and decrease engine speed (downsizing and downspeeding) to increase engine load for improved specific fuel consumption.
