The project deliberately focused upon technologies and systems that are already on the market or are capable of practical production implementation in the near term. In implementing this 50% downsizing by swept volume, the research team delivered zero degradation in driveability, performance or acceleration. Earlier post.).

Unlike exhaust-driven turbochargers, electric superchargers are driven by an electric motor. Highly efficient at low engine revolutions, electric superchargers make it possible to downsize engines. It also validates our approach to technology development, which we apply to all our products. Earlier post.).

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. The downsizing process involved shortening the piston stroke by reducing the size of the crank pin and conrod assembly. Select Engines.
