This new design added “wave” bumps on the side of the piston bowl, which allows the fuel to burn more cleanly.).
In a policy analysis in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology , researchers from the Universities of Cambridge, Exeter and Oxford argue that, due to the increased emphasis on alternative fuels with drastically differing energy densities, vehicle efficiency should be evaluated based on energy rather than volume. respectively.
more fuel efficient; the most efficient model consumes 5.0 l/100 km (47 mpg US). The two gasoline (TSI) and three diesel (TDI) engines are four-cylinder, 16-valve engines feature turbocharging and direct fuel injection. In the large Sharan the downsized engine consumes on average 6.4 mpg US, 154 g/km CO 2 ).
