The Mitsubishi Motors Corporation and PSA Peugeot Citroën have signed an agreement to which the PSA will provide the patented 2. 2-liter common-rail, direct injection diesel engine with particulate filter to Mitsubishi. Under the agreement, PSA will begin providing automobile engines to be launched by mid 2007.
The Mitsubishi is set to present a new sport utility vehicle Outlander in Europe this month. By the end of this year, the industry is looking to add a new diesel version of the SUV will be powered by diesel of PSA. The latter will also use the machine for the 4007 and C-Crosser cars. These vehicles by PSA is expected to start mid this year.
The renowned companies cars are also decide a joint venture for an SUV-4WD vehicle type for the PSA. This vehicle should be based on a completely new platform, which is now under way at the factory Mitsubishi. The pact made by car mirrors extend the original agreement set by both companies in automotive parts as a component of the bid.
The 2. 2-liter diesel engine is an after Phase 4, consisting of a rigid studies, and tests made by PSA in conjunction with the Ford Motor Company. The engine is specially designed to blend well with Mitsubishi body parts to further improve the performance of the composition of the latter. Ford and PSA target engine performance with the best performance of all 2. 5-liter diesel engines on the market. The engine also has a top environmental performance that complies with Euro IV emission standards and is equipped with a filter.
Furthermore, also enhances fuel efficiency and reduces emissions of carbon dioxide. The variation of the engine produced by PSA using Extreme conventional combustion system (ECC) of the combustion chamber reduces emissions of regulated pollutants at source by 30 percent and increase the performance of the car and reduce noise operation. The combustion chamber is greater with low compression ratio to create a more even combination of air and fuel.
The size of the combustion chamber reduces the amount of fuel that reaches the walls, therefore; It ensures that the combustion of fuel is more efficient than others. Geometry and style of the head have been modified to produce 25 percent more combustion chamber diameter compared with the previous engines. Advanced piston design is also attributable to the use of aluminum, which has very high mechanical and thermal properties. To minimize heat loss to the walls and ultimately to improve engine performance, the company used the special geometry of the engine reduces swirls.
The combustion system produced is combined with third generation Bosch common-rail 1800-bar injection system. All-new Bosch piezoelectric injectors with nozzles 7 135 mm in combination with high pressure injection produces up to 6 injections per engine cycle. The upgrade makes fuel injection more precise and effective infusion.
The engine is also equipped with a parallel sequential turbo boost that power. The small, low-inertia turbo is able to provide excellent support even at low engine speeds. A second turbo kicks at 2.700 rpm. These turbos fully managed by the engine management.
Ford, Peugeot and Honeywell Turbo Technology has filed 5 patents on its innovative technology. Essentially, these engines are famed for the available torque at low revs. Interest once the turbo comes on line. In addition, third-generation electrically controlled variable geometry turbo has also been created for applications that require bi-turbo boost at low engine speeds.
In addition, Mitsubishi has announced earlier that Lancer will also have a diesel engine in 2010. He said the diesel engine will also be acquired by PSA. The automaker reported an overwhelming loss in the past. This includes 15. 1 billion yen loss for the first quarter of 2006 to last year. This resulted in losing ground in favor of Toyota Motor Corp and Honda Motor Co Mitsubishi, however, is determined to put a good fight and this time starts from the tradition ideal lineup of engines.
