www.chinabuses.org: Fiat Powertrain, Specializing in research, development, production and sale of engines and transmissions, has 10 manufacturing sites and five R&D centers and is a major player in the global powertrain sector. Part of Fiat Group Automobiles as of 1 January 2012, the company produces and sells engines ranging in output from 65 hp to 235 hp and transmissions with torque up to 400 Nm for application on passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.

Company expertise in the sphere of research and development and its great skill in engineering and production processes allow excellent solutions and innovations in the powertrain field.

One of the most significant dates back to 1997, when Common Rail technology was first applied to a Turbo Diesel engine for passenger cars. This system revolutionized Diesel engines in terms of efficiency and driving comfort. In 2003, Common Rail evolved into the MultiJet system and in 2009 in MultiJet II technology.

In 2009, the advent of MultiAir technology, a system based on electrohydraulic intake valve management, revolutionized gasoline engine setting new standards in terms of efficiency: fuel consumption and CO2 emissions fell while driving satisfaction increased.

The two-cylinder TwinAir engine, launched in 2010, marks a genuine milestone in downsizing strategy and is evidence of Fiat Powertrain’s quest for innovative solutions. This commitment has been internationally acknowledged by numerous accolades including the prestigious “Engine of the Year 2011” award.

The Dry Dual Clutch Transmission (TCT), also introduced in 2010, offers a significant enhancement in efficiency compared to conventional automatic torque converter gearboxes: the same driving comfort and ease of use but with much greater driving pleasure.
