- International awards ceremony wendesday in Stuttgart
Wolfsburg, 25-06-2010 - The much sought-after ‘Engine of the Year Award’ has been won by Volkswagen – the tenth time already that the Group has taken the cherished trophy back to Wolfsburg. Entered in the competition this year was Volkswagen’s new 1.4 TSI engine and it won not only in the 1 to 1.4-litre category, but also took the overall award as ‘International Engine of the Year’.
There to accept the prize at the ceremony in Stuttgart yesterday was Dr. Rüdiger Szengel, Head of Volkswagen Petrol Engine Development. "I and the entire Volkswagen development team are extremely proud to receive this major international prize in the overall category for the second year in succession for the 1.4 twincharger," said Dr. Szengel at the awards ceremony yesterday. "The combination of compressor and turbo-charging provides an excellent basis for combining driving pleasure and low fuel consumption - all achieved with a relatively small engine capacity of 1.4 litres," he added.
Volkswagen leads the way globally in the strategy of charging using direct injection and with these powerful engines covers the model range from Polo all the way to Passat CC. The new Sharan can also be ordered with a 1.4 twincharger and powered by the 110 kW / 150 PS high-tech petrol engine consumes just 7.2 litres of fuel per 100 km.
