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.”
