Let’s not forget that in the BS4 era (2010–2020), diesel sales were at their peak, and even for Maruti Suzuki, despite consumers perceiving it largely as a petrol car company, diesels accounted for as much as 30 percent of total sales. As a result, exhaust gases are much cooler than in a conventional cast-iron manifold.
As all domestic manufacturers believed between 1982 and 2010 or so, the European car was more sophisticated, had better performance and handling, and in general a more desirable customer base than a domestic car. Said relocation required a revision to the exhaust routing. But the Mark VIII would be different, special. And that was all.
Since this energy loss is primarily thermal in nature and can be attributed to the exhaust, cooling system, and engine and transmission surfaces, Mazda’s R&D team’s central focus is on improving the engine’s thermal efficiency cost-effectively. Extreme compression ratio rather than downsizing. Although downsizing—i.e.,
L/100 km (56 mpg US) will be added to the range in spring 2010. Continuing Opel’s strategy of downsizing, a new 103 kW/140hp 1.4 Continuously variable valve timing is featured in all engines on both inlet and exhaust sides, except the 1.6-liter The new, downsized 103 kW/140 hp 1.4-liter The top-of-the-line 2.0
The framework is deliberately designed to prevent downsizing , even though manufacturing smaller vehicles is the best strategy for reducing CO2 emissions. The use of footprints to determine fleet emission targets removes any incentive for an automaker to reduce the size of the vehicles it offers.
