Petrol
FSI® direct-injection technology is a unique Audi innovation
that was originally developed for the Le Mans 24-hour
endurance race to deliver more power and torque, as well as
enhanced fuel efficiency. Precisely the right amount of fuel
and air are injected into the combustion chambers, enabling
the engine to ‘breathe’ more easily. It results in reduced heat
loss and increased output, with around a 15% reduction in
fuel consumption and significantly lower exhaust emissions.
We’ve also developed TFSI®, with turbocharging – giving cars
an extra injection of power.
Diesel
We introduced TDI® to the roads in 1989, and since
then, we’ve continuously refined it, including developing
common-rail technology. Under this system, a series of piezo
injectors uses electrical charge to precisely control the amount
of fuel injected into the engine. As well as reducing noise, this
allows combustion to happen at a lower temperature, with
less oxygen, which lowers emissions.
