Volvo Car Group launches world-first injection technology in the new
VEA engine family
Volvo Car Group's new engine family VEA (Volvo Engine Architecture)
will be launched this autumn with world-first i-ART technology that
helps to cut fuel consumption in the new diesel engines.
By featuring pressure feedback from each fuel injector instead of
using a traditional single pressure sensor in the common rail, i-ART
makes it possible to continuously monitor and adapt fuel injection per
combustion in each of the four cylinders.
"Increasing the rail pressure to an exceptionally high 2,500 Bar,
while adding the i-ART technology, can be described as the second step
in the diesel revolution. It is a breakthrough comparable to when we
invented the groundbreaking lambda sensor for the catalytic converter
in 1976. It's another world-first for Volvo," says Derek Crabb,
Vice President Powertrain Engineering at Volvo Car Group.
He adds: "Each injector has a small computer on top, which
monitors injection pressure. Using this information, the self-adapting
i-ART system makes sure that the ideal amount of fuel is injected
during each combustion cycle."
The combination of higher injection pressure and i-ART technology
gives the customer an engine with improved fuel economy, considerably
lower emissions and high performance output as well as a powerful
sound character.
Launched autumn 2013
Volvo Car Group will launch the Volvo Engine Architecture in autumn
2013. With VEA, Volvo will also introduce a new 8-speed automatic
gearbox that contributes to a refined drive and excellent fuel
economy.
Diesel common rail and petrol direct injection are standard in the
upcoming modular range of diesel and petrol engines.
Several levels of turbo charging open up for the flexibility to cover
the whole range from fuel-efficient derivatives through to high power
and torque variants. In order to cover all customer requirements,
certain engines will also gain added performance via electrification
or other spearhead technology.
"The new powertrains will boost driving pleasure through their
agile, yet smooth, responsiveness and the seamless character of the
new 8-speed automatic," says Derek Crabb.
V8s are dinosaurs
"We will create smaller, more intelligent engines with so much
power that they will turn V8s into dinosaurs. Our four-cylinder
engines will offer higher performance than today's six-cylinder units
and lower fuel consumption than the current four-cylinder generation.
On top of that, electrification will bring us up into power figures in
today's V8-territory," says Derek Crabb.
The engines will be built at Volvo Car Group's high-tech engine plant
in Skövde, Sweden.
