Technology
FSI (Fuel Stratified Injection)
Performance and fuel efficiency combined
First developed for the racetrack, FSI technology from Volkswagen AG, enables better performance and a higher torque whilst simultaneously keeping fuel consumption low and reducing emissions.
How does it work?
Fuel Stratified Injection describes the stratified petrol direct injection attained by this engine. Supplied by a common-rail system, the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber at a pressure of 100 bar. The reduced consumption of the FSI engine is achieved by stratification in the low and medium speed ranges. One major achievement of this engine technology is the efficient exhaust treatment with a NOx catalytic converter for reducing the nitrogen oxides found in the exhaust gases.
