Manufacturers continue to optimize diesel emission controls, such as DOC, DPF and SCR, in order to promote uniform catalyst coating, improve NO x conversion efficiency, reduce back pressure on the engine, and reduce thermal mass. Better catalysts and urea dosing systems can achieve high NOx conversion during lower temperature operation.

Thanks to this rightsizing approach, the new engine enjoys the consumption benefits of a downsizing engine in partial load operation, while at higher loads it has the advantages of a large-displacement engine. The consistent reduction of friction as well as the use of low-friction engine oil (0W-20) also increases efficiency.

This downsizing enables lower fuel consumption, accompanied by low emissions and optimum weight. The 4-cylinder Sprinter features a 7-speed automatic transmission with torque converter—the only 7-speed automatic transmission to feature in a van—is refined for maximum fuel economy. Accessory equipment.

The resulting higher BMEP levels allow downsizing of the engine at equivalent vehicle performance. The vehicle owner will realize high fuel economy because gasoline, with its greater eating value per volume, is the fuel that is primarily used for most driving modes. Earlier post.) Bromberg, J.B.

A multi-cylinder version is practical for a wide variety of vehicles and offers greatest benefit to C and D class passenger cars which can take advantage of the low cost architecture and significantly improved fuel economy and emissions. Wet sump with plain bearings and electric oil pump. Fuel system. Orbital FlexDI air-assist.

Conversion efficiency is now the key. Per the regulations, the Mercedes team downsized their internal combustion engine (ICE) to a 1.6 Oil thins at higher temperatures; thus, a hotter engine needs a thicker oil to stop metal components from rubbing together and failing. This requires thinner, faster flowing oil.
