Summary

This paper describes the characteristics of a new 0.9 l, 3 cylinder gasoline turbocharged engine. This new “downsized” engine will be the core of the B & entry segment for Renault. As part of the Energy TCe family, this engine will offer a power level of 66kW close to a naturally aspirated 1.4 l, with very low CO₂ emissions and reduced costs of ownership. The Energy TCe 90 is both segment leader for real life fuel consumption on Clio 4, and among the best gasoline engines regarding CO₂ emissions with only 99 g CO₂/km. Based on Renault’s experience in turbocharged gasoline engines, this engine features optimized combustion in order to obtain a significantly reduced fuel consumption combined with good driveability.
