The 16th International Engine of the Year Awards were held on 25 June at the 2014 Engine Expo in Stuttgart, Germany. At this latest ceremony, PSA Peugeot Citroën (Paris:UG) won its eighth consecutive Award in the 1.4 to 1.8-litre category.

Presented by the specialised UK magazine Engine Technology International, the prestigious Award once again honours the 1.6-litre direct-injection turbo petrol engine developed in cooperation with BMW Group.

Belonging to the Prince engine family, the 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine is offered in 155 hp and 200 hp versions and has recently been launched in a 270 hp version to equip the new Peugeot RCZ R.

Featuring the latest technologies, including direct injection, variable valve timing, a volume flow-controlled oil pump and an on-demand water pump, this engine improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions by around 10% compared with the previous generation.

Manufactured at the Française de Mécanique plant in Douvrin in the Pas-de-Calais, the various versions of this engine constitute the core of the Peugeot and Citroën petrol lineup, alongside the new generation of EB PureTech 3-cylinder engines.

On this occasion, Christian Chapelle, Vice President Powertrain and Chassis Engineering said: “This award serves as wonderful recognition of the technological advances that PSA Peugeot Citroën’s R&D teams are making on petrol engines manufactured in France. It attests to the qualities of this 1.6-liter engine, especially the 200 hp version developed in cooperation with BMW, which is particularly superior in terms of drivability and fuel economy.”
