In which year did the fourth-generation EA888 engine begin to be used?

[SanArthur]

The fourth-generation EA888 engine currently has no news of application. Introduction to the EA888 engine: The 'EA888 engine' is a newly designed engine by Volkswagen, integrating advanced technologies such as direct fuel injection, turbocharging, and variable valve timing, achieving a balance between power and economic environmental protection. Characteristics of the EA888 engine: Variable valve timing for intake. The EA888 engine employs variable valve timing technology for intake, effectively improving intake and exhaust efficiency. This is primarily achieved through a vane-type hydraulic adjuster located on the intake camshaft to enable variable valve timing; direct fuel injection system. The fuel supply system is the most crucial part of achieving direct fuel injection. To inject fuel into the high-pressure cylinders, sufficient injection pressure is required; water-cooled turbocharging technology. The engine's turbocharger and exhaust manifold adopt an integrated design, which can reduce the volume and weight of redundant parts to some extent, making the system relatively stable and reliable.
