Delivery of the first vehicles begins in spring of 2019. With the near-engine insulated configuration, exhaust-gas aftertreatment does not suffer great levels of heat loss and generates extremely favorable operating conditions. The efficiency is increased by the higher burning rate in comparison with the previous omega combustion bowl.
