Direct injection technology in gasoline engines is gaining in importance as a result of the need to cut CO₂ emissions further still. Our second system generation cuts consumption by up to 15 % compared with manifold injection. Combined with a turbocharger, this technology facilitates the development of smaller engines that deliver the same power while consuming less fuel. This downsizing, as it is called, has now been applied to four series-manufactured engines - and further projects are set to follow. In 2007, Bosch was able to sell more than one million systems, and this figure is likely to pass the two-million mark by 2009.
