While Audi’s diesel engine vehicle sales are declining in the European market, the company continues to maintain its commitment to this technology. By modernizing the 3.0-liter V6 TDI engine with electric support, the company aims to combine high performance and efficiency, as we mentioned above. Audi transforms with V6 diesel engine
As a result of the European Union’s strict emission rules, the market share of diesel vehicles has decreased significantly. While the share of diesel in new vehicle sales has decreased significantly compared to previous years due to the impact of the scandal period, hybrid, gasoline and rechargeable hybrid models are closing this gap. However, Audi kept the diesel theme TDIKeeping its badge, it directs the future with its new 3.0-liter V6 with electrical support.
This engine will be offered in the A6 and Q5 models and will work integrated with the 48-volt mild hybrid system. The electric compressor is positioned just behind the turbo and intercooler. When the driver accelerates suddenly, the electric compressor comes into play, compressing the air once again and transmitting it to the combustion chamber, even if the turbo has not yet reached the desired pressure. This results in higher torque and reduced turbo lag at low revs. Audi emphasizes that these reactions create a strong electric car feeling.
The mild hybrid system, in addition to the engine at takeoff 24 horsepowerAnd 230 Nm of torqueprovides. This support makes a significant difference in the real driving experience. An A6 Sedan equipped with the new V6 engine can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds, and the maximum speed is limited to 250 km/h.
Using the same engine, Q5 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5 seconds in standard SUV and Sportback variants. Rather than a completely new design, the origin of the engine represents the current version of the 3.0 TDI that the Volkswagen Group introduced in 2010. This engine, which has been the subject of emission manipulation discussions in the past, is equipped with significant improvements in terms of durability and efficiency in the new version.
In addition, oil produced from waste oils and agricultural by-products HVO (hydroprocessed vegetable oil)The fact that it can also run on biofuel enables this engine to offer an environmentally friendly alternative. Using HVO can reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 95% compared to conventional diesel fuel.
