New 1.6 diesel engine confirmed for Europe

Today at the Tokyo Motor Show, Takanobu Ito, President and CEO of Honda Motor Company announced that Honda have developed a new generation of engines called ‘Earth Dreams Technology’. This new engine series will deliver excellent performance and environmental values and will be gradually introduced throughout the Honda range.

Number one in fuel economy
With the exceptional environmental values of Earth Dreams Technology, Honda will strive to be number one in fuel economy in each category within 3 years.

New 1.6 diesel engine for Europe
The first engine from this series for Europe will be a newly developed 1.6 diesel engine. Designed for the European market, this new smaller diesel engine will first be mounted on Honda’s new Civic and will be launched in late 2012. It is lighter than any other diesel engine of its size and with CO2 emissions below 100g/km and 120ps (at 4000rpm), the engine delivers a class-leading balance of fuel economy and performance. The 300Nm of torque (at 2000rpm) results in excellent driveability for models equipped with this engine.
