        Tech Tips


        • Economy with Superior Thermal Efficient Combustion (ESTEC): An engine series which achieves thermal efficiency (fuel economy) improvements through continuous improvements to engine combustion.

        • Direct injection 4 stroke gasoline engine Superior version with Turbo (D-4ST): A direct injection technology which uses a system to comprehensively perform supercharging control for the D-4S system and turbocharger to achieve a higher dimension of high tumble flow and turbo pressure control by optimizing the cylinder head ports and shape of the piston faces. As a result, fuel economy and low-speed torque are achieved.
