The engines are:1.0-litre 3-cylinder with variable valve timing (VVT)1.2-litre 3-cylinder with VVT1.3-litre 4-cylinder with direct injection (DI)1.5-litre 4-cylinder with DI1.3-litre 4-cylinder turbo1.5-litre 4-cylinder turboThere’s also a separate ‘E01’ programme for a 2.0-litre four cylinder engine, also due by 2017.Curiously, despite the apparent European Union centric push, there are no plans to introduce any diesel engines – the dominant engine type in Europe.Driven by a CO2-based road tax system, and an added tax on fuels, diesels which are inherently more fuel efficient and have lower CO2 emissions than their petrol counterparts, are favoured by many European drivers. Vehicle registration data published by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association show that nearly 60 percent of all new cars sold are powered by diesels. While they may have lower CO2 emissions, diesels are particularly poor on NOx and particulate matter (PM) emissions, pollutants which the latest Euro 6 regulations is clamping down hard on, thus making petrol engines more attractive once again.When asked about the omission of diesel engines from Proton’s 6+1 (GDi/TGDi and E01 engine development programme) family of new engines, Tun Dr. Mahathir said “Well diesels were the preferred engines in Europe but now they have different ideas. You know what happened to the record of the performance of diesel engines recently, so now people have to rethink – whether [to support] diesel engines or petrol engines. Petrol engines will continue to be around for a long long time, if not in Europe at least in Asia.”Tun Dr. Mahathir was most likely referring to the Volkswagen Group’s exhaust emissions scandal involving its diesel engines.Related links:Proton cranks up new family of six engines for 2017 introductionReport Claims Seven New Proton Engines By 2017Find more Proton cars at Carlist.my ✕ 使用 WhatsApp 联系 我们依据 PDPA 保护您的个人信息。 我同意 Carlist.my 的使用条款和隐私政策 我同意接收来自 Carlist.my 及其汽车销售商、业务附属机构和合作伙伴的个性化通信。 查看最佳汽车优惠!
