Turbocharging and downsizing can also yield fuel consumption reductions. Downsizing is an important strategy applicable in combination with technologies that increase engine torque, such as turbocharging or supercharging. Part of the gain from advanced-level CI diesel engines comes from downsizing.

Downsizing is a key element of Audi’s efficiency strategy. Audi injects AdBlue upstream of a DeNOx converter, where NO x is catalytically reduced. The two NO x sensors measure the concentration of nitric oxides before the diesel particulate filter and after the DeNOx converter to compute the necessary injection volume of AdBlue.
