The new engine is to be installed on Citroen's C3, DS3 and C4 Elysee. (I can imagine this engine going to be fitted on the 2014 "E3" modern 2CV).
PSAグループの新開発1.0リッター3気筒エンジンに注目
The new engine is assembled at Trémery (France).
The 1.0 liter PureTech engine is a 3 cylinders type developing 68hp.
The engine fuel consumption is more efficient than 4 cylinders bigger engines due to the fact that there are less parts and less friction generated by only 3 pistons. (Consumption is 4.6L/100km).
搭載される、3バルブをそなえた3気筒エンジンは、フリクションロスの低減、燃焼効率の向上、無段階可変バルブタイミング技術の採用など、高効率化をはかる技術が数多く投入され、CO2排出量の削減に成功している。
