When was Mazda's compression ignition engine introduced in China?
1 Answers
As of October 2019, Mazda's compression ignition engine had not been introduced in China. Here are the specific details: 1. Mazda has conducted in-depth research on engines. With the continuous development of new energy vehicles and their increasing ownership, Mazda believes that electric vehicles are not necessarily more environmentally friendly than fuel-powered vehicles, leading to the production of a compression ignition engine. 2. This compression ignition engine adopts a unique SPCCI combustion method. During operation, the spark plug controls the compression ignition, enabling gasoline engines to achieve compression ignition. This working method significantly enhances the engine's power and fuel economy. 3. The technology and structure of this engine are relatively complex. This latest compression ignition engine reduces fuel consumption by 20-30% compared to traditional engines, while increasing torque by 10-30%, making it one of the most fuel-efficient engines currently available. 4. During operation, this engine produces relatively low vibration and noise. Its lower requirement for engine strength also results in a lighter weight, allowing this engine to be applied in various fields according to different usage needs.
