Boosting and Direct Injection -Synergies for Future Gasoline Engines

To further reduce the Corporate Average Fuel Economy in order to meet the ACEA target values agreed upon, more intense efforts are required in the areas of engine and drive train development by 2008 or 2012. Boosted gasoline engines with a high specific output or torque have to be considered the tools that lead to this goal, while combining driving pleasure and consumption reduction in an ideal way.

FEV has thoroughly analyzed this kind of concept and analyzed the fundamental synergy effects resulting from the additional combination of supercharging with direct injection in close detail.
