Applied to a turbocharged, downsized engine, MultiAir can contribute to up to a 25% reduction in fuel consumption over conventional naturally aspirated engines with the same performance, according to Fiat. Through solenoid valve opening and closing time control, a wide range of optimum intake valve opening schedules can be easily obtained.

Di Turbo Jet E5 drive torque is comparable to the one of an aspirated V6 engine which is almost twice its displacement, according to Fiat, but with significant efficiency gains through the downsizing. Lastly, the exhaust ducts were designed to work in tune with the exhaust manifold and maximize its pulse converter effect.

Renault’s ongoing downsizing strategy is aimed at reducing the cubic capacity of its engines in order to bring down fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions, without detracting from performance. Its simple design and low levels of friction make it particularly competitive in terms of the performance it delivers for its price. dCi engines.
