With the most recent design, an increase of the efficiency level of around 1–2 percent-points can be expected. The engine was also equipped with an electrically driven volumetric pump in the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) path which gives the freedom to set any desired EGR rate, independently from the pressure ratios across the turbocharger.
