The 2.0 TFSI from Audi has won the \u201cInternational Engine of the Year\u201d award in the category of engines with between 150 and 250 metric horsepower. An international panel of experts comprising 70 automotive journalists voted the four-cylinder gasoline engine the winner of its class. The award ceremony took place as part of the \u201cEngine Expo + The Powertrain Technology Show 2019\u201d at the exhibition and trade center \u201cMesse Stuttgart\u201d today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the jury, the four-cylinder engine is \u201cone of the most flexible and versatile engines ever to be developed\u2014in short, it can do it all.\u201d Hans-Joachim Rothenpieler, Member of the Board of Management of AUDI AG for Technical Development, explains this strength: \u201cWe are delighted to receive this award, because it acknowledges the versatility of the 2.0 TFSI. We use it not only as a pure gasoline engine, but also as a plug-in hybrid drive and for operation with natural gas or Audi e-gas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rothenpieler is particularly proud of the success record of the TFSI technology. The head of Audi Technical Development looks back: \u201cWe introduced the first TFSI to the market in 2004. Since then, we have achieved class victory with a TFSI at the awards every year.\u201d Between 2005 and 2009, Audi won the two-liter category with the 2.0 TFSI, and between 2010 and 2018, the company won in the larger class with the five-cylinder 2.5 TFSI. Following the switch from displacement-based to horsepower-based categories in 2019, the two-liter four-cylinder engine is back on the winners\u2019 podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The abbreviation TFSI stands for turbocharging and direct injection; Audi was the first automotive manufacturer in the world to mass-produce this combination in 2004. The brand started its downsizing strategy, i.e. replacing displacement with charging, with the first 2.0 TFSI, the A3 Sportback drive. A new engine generation followed in 2007: What was known as EA (Entwicklungsauftrag<\/em>, development order) 888 was designed for the global markets. It rolled off the line at the Hungarian plant in Gy\u0151r, in Dalian, China, and other locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The 2.0 TFSI from Audi has won the \u201cInternational Engine of the Year\u201d award in the category of engines with between 150 and 250 metric horsepower.
