2900cc Turbo Intercooler Diesel Engine
Type TDI
Engine displacement 2,874cc
Maximum power 10/4,000(ps/rpm)
Maximum torque 25.5/2,400(kg.m/rpm)
Environmentally friendly engine with the electrically controlled EGR system, which controls EGR valve precisely by EUC and substantially prevents fume emission.

* EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation)

Non-load, sudden acceleration fume prevention equipment is mounted; this equipment reduces fuel supply and fume emission when the acceleration pedal is stepped and RPM suddenly increases during engine idle condition.

[Advantages of TDI Engine]

- It realizes the best economic driving efficiency with the maximum efficiency of combustion, and it boasts the highest endurance as proved it with 1 million km drive without boring.

- This engine is high altitude type engine, which has high torque over all rpm, is superior with acceleration and has no other competitor when it comes to the ability of climbing

- When it is required to change transmission frequently, for instance at low speed or in heavy traffic, enough torque is generated over large rpm area, so that easy and calm drive can be possible.

  

Special Feature of Benz Design Engine
01. Inclined Engine Mounting
Designed to incline 15° toward the left side compared to the existing vertical-type, it minimizes side pressure and friction, and also heightens output and fuel efficiency.

 
02. Pre-Combustion Chamber
This exclusive pre-combustion chamber engine of Benz’s own produces high output with small amount of fuel and prevents knocking, so it presents unforgettable still driving.
03. Hydraulic Valve Clearance Auto Controller
When high heat produced in engine explosion increases the valve clearance and causes noise or falling-off in performance, it needs to be adjusted. However, auto control system adjusts the valve clearance automatically.
04. Semi-Permanent One Belt & Auto Tensioner
Using only one of this six-groove Poly V-belt, it provides easy-to-control experience. As auto tensioner, controlling the belt tension automatically prevents transmitting too much force and slipping, this exclusive belt system does not need tension adjusting, so it is semi-permanent..
05. Double–timing Chain & Auto Tensionter
By using Double-bush Chain, a fuel injection timing control system, which is connected with injection pump, crank shaft and cam shaft, is operated to maintain the precise injection timing and remarkable output. When the timing chain is deformed due to long-period use and heat, auto tensioner absorbs the deformation and keeps the fuel injection time fixed to make it semi-permanent.
 

06. Idle Speed Control System
In the initial starting, it senses the temperature of cooling water and increases idle rpm automatically until the ideal temperature(30?) in order to shorten the warming-up time.
