Birth of the Audi A4 2.0 TDI e, the most efficient range.

Posted May 27, 2009 | Category: Cars

The Audi is investing substantially to improve the efficiency of its models with the goal set for 2012, a 20% reduction in the average fuel economy of the range.

This strategy is part of the new A4 2.0 TDI e, which will be available in dealerships from June, equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and credited with an average consumption of 4.8 litres/100 km, with average CO2 emissions of 124 g / km. Its four-cylinder TDI turbodiesel delivers a maximum power of 136 hp, so you can reach 100 km / h in 9.5 seconds, top speed of 215 km / h.

The combined intake of various devices is the basis of the efficiency of the A4 2.0 TDI e. In urban traffic are the main advantages offered by the Start & Stop system as standard that significantly reduces power consumption without being a source of stress for the driver. The system automatically turns off the engine when the car reaches a stop, the transmission is in neutral and the clutch pedal is released. As soon as the driver presses the clutch pedal, the engine restarts. The system is simple to use, fresh and fast in operation: the motor, in fact, stabilizes at idle in the time it takes the driver to engage the first report. In a standard urban driving cycle, the action of the Stop & Start lowers consumption of 0.2 litres/100 km, with a consequent reduction in C02 emissions of about 5 g / km.

In addition, this model of the range "and" has a six-speed manual transmission with a final report elongation of 5% to reduce the speeds of the motor in each of the reports. Always seeking the most efficient, then the engine management system has been revised accordingly. The series is also expected kinetic energy recovery system, which uses the phases of deceleration to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy. In the later stage of acceleration, the electronics is flowing again in the electrical energy stored in the battery, to lighten the load on the alternator and, consequently, reduce power consumption.

It is part of standard equipment including on-board computer with efficiency program. All consumption data are displayed in the central display, along with information designed to drive more efficiently. The actual consumption, in fact, depends for more than 30% from the driver's driving style. The system analyzes the energy consumption for the vehicle and suggested such behavior is more correct to achieve fuel savings. For example, indicate if it is grafted the right relationship or whether it is necessary to change, suggesting that the relationship to insert, to improve efficiency.

The A4 2.0 TDI e, also burns less fuel, thanks to improvements such as aerodynamic underbody coating, the partial closing of the radiator grille and the presence of a sports suspension, lowered by 20 mm.

The A4 2.0 TDI e will also be available with Avant body, with an average consumption of 4.9 litres/100 km and average CO2 emissions of 129 g / km.

The two versions are on sale at dealerships Audi priced at 33,680 Euro 35,230 Euro sedan and the Avant.

Thanks to the low average CO2 emissions, both models benefit from the economic incentives provided by the Government for the turbo models with emissions below 130 g / km.
