What does SKYACTIV Technology refer to?
1 Answers
SKYACTIV Technology is a comprehensive term for the optimized technologies applied to key components of Mazda vehicles, including gasoline and diesel engines, manual and automatic transmissions, chassis, and body structure. Below are the highlights of SKYACTIV Technology: 1. High Compression Ratio. For piston internal combustion engines, it's a double-edged sword. Increasing the compression ratio can improve engine efficiency, thereby enhancing performance and reducing fuel consumption. 2. Multi-hole Fuel Injectors and Concave-top Pistons. These improve the combustion environment in the cylinders, further preventing knocking. 3. Lightweight Design and Reduced Mechanical Resistance. Structural lightweighting and minimizing internal friction are effective means to enhance engine performance. 4. New Mechatronic Control Module. The SKYACTIV automatic transmission employs a new mechatronic control module, enabling precise control of each gear for smooth and seamless shifting performance.
