[AutoDaily] Hyundai motor will launch a high performance and high fuel efficiency gasoline engine like diesel one within the next year.
 
Hyundai motor has carried development of new generation gasoline engine against German diesel and Japanese hybrid which divide the world engine market into two parts. The company gets a good result.
 
Suburban Hyundai Technology Center (HTC) in U.S.A. collaborates with Delphi Wisconsin Univ. on new generation 1.8 Liter engine based on gasoline grafting diesel characteristic called GCDI.
15 November, the company opens new GDCI(Gasoline Direct-Injection Compression) engine to the public in HTC.
 
This engine has 25% higher fuel-efficient compare to existing 1.8 Liter gasoline engine. The maximum power is 180 Hp, it is above 2.0 gasoline one.
 
LF Sonata fleet version which releases onto U.S.A. market in the first half of next year will be loaded with this engine, have a test.
 
Instead of spark plug, the engine ignites through compression in a cylinder, equips supercharger and turbocharger, and improves power sharply.
 
In other words, GDCI engine uses either supercharger when exhaust fumes temperature is low or turbocharger when needed higher power. Despite of 1.8L, the engine has 14.8 versus 1 high compression ratio and variable valve train, it seeks higher efficiency than 2.0L diesel engine.
 
The person in charge of engine design and testing in HTC, Nahyan, said the goal of GDCI engine is high-mileages based gasoline on like diesel engine.
 
The time and model of mass production have not yet been set.
 
Meanwhile, the Ford Company sticking to gasoline engine installed eco-booster engine which has good performance and fuel efficiency on major car model. They increase sales volume across the globe.
 
Although Ford eco-booster engine drastically reduces piston displacement, it satisfies with both fuel-efficiency and performance.
 
The engine combined gasoline direct-injection, turbocharger, and two variable timing cam, it makes characteristic of high-capacity engine; low-speed strong torque, driving ability with responding immediately, even the size and weight of engine and fuel consumption lessen.
 
The GDCI engine, developed this time by Hyundai, looks similar to Ford eco-booster way.
