The MAHLE Downsizing Engine Introduction


Maximising fuel economy and thereby minimising CO2 emissions are among the most important objectives for the future development of engines and vehicles. MAHLE have recently designed and built an engine to demonstrate the application of aggressive downsizing to gasoline engines in order to improve operating efficiency. A robust combustion system that allows a high compression ratio to maintain part load efficiency Good low speed torque and transient performance Real world fuel consumption benefits through a reduction in full load fuel enrichment Base engine robustness and durability

The MAHLE Downsizing Engine Targets


The targets were to produce an engine capable of replacing a typical 2.4l V6 PFi engine used in a C or D class European vehicle platform (circa 1600 kg). The engine would be compliant with EU5 / ULEV2 emissions from conception.

Engine Mechanics and Friction

Higher valve-train losses (exhaust spring loads in particular) are the main cause of the small disadvantage at low speed.
The good result at medium and high engine speed is due to the very low power-cell friction of the MAHLE downsizing engine The effects of 3 vs. 4 cylinders, Latest technology crank shaft bearings Short stroke design Very good bore roundness
