Where is GAC Trumpchi's Engine Produced?
1 Answers
The first batch of GAC Trumpchi engines were imported from Italy, with Alfa Romeo as the primary technology provider. These engines were mainly installed in the first-generation models of GAC Trumpchi. Although the models were relatively limited, their overall performance was excellent. Later, GAC Trumpchi embarked on the path of independent engine development. Currently, all GAC Trumpchi vehicles on the road are equipped with engines made in China. Below is an introduction to GAC Trumpchi's engines: 1. Trumpchi's engines originated from Alfa Romeo's 2.0 twin-spark engine, which was continuously improved and developed into GAC Trumpchi's own engines. 2. After introducing the 1.8TS engine, GAC Trumpchi upgraded the original twin-spark system, redesigning the cylinder head and ignition system. 3. Emissions and VVT control were improved. A significant amount of the latest technology was incorporated, such as BOSCH's ignition, fuel injection, and EMS control systems, as well as DENSO's latest-generation VVT control system, making the 1.8VTML's parameters more powerful than the 1.8TS and meeting the Euro 4 emission standards. Specifically, power increased by 3KW, and torque increased by 4NM. 4. The 2.0L engine used by Trumpchi is based on the Alfa Romeo 166 powertrain. After secondary development and recalibration by GAC R&D Center, the engine's performance and emissions surpassed the prototype's levels, while achieving localization for most components, which is crucial for cost reduction. 5. The 2.0LVTML engine has a maximum power of 110kw/6300rpm and a maximum torque of 183Nm/4500rpm.
