Downsizing

Automobile downsizing involves reducing engine displacement while maintaining equivalent performance, particularly through turbocharging and technological optimisation. This approach aims to decrease fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions, but also raises questions about reliability, real-world usage, and the future of the internal combustion engine.

From downsizing engines to a sensible configuration: a return to more coherent engines

在过去十多年中,发动机缩小主导了汽车制造商的战略。为了显示更好的油耗和排放数据,减少排量已成为常态。然而,在多年的经验反馈后,一种新的方法正在出现:合理配置。 这种方法更加平衡、更加现实,并且更适合实际使用,标志着现代发动机设计的转折点。 为什么发动机缩小达到了极限 虽然发动机缩小能够迅速应对法规的限制,但…
