Renault debuts the new dCi 130 diesel Energy

This is the philosophy of downsizing the second Renault is the new 1.6 dCi 130 turbodiesel that will equip Scénic at first, and then be extended to the entire "family" Mégane and its subsidiary Nissan. The engine has an output of 130 hp at 4000 rpm, 320 Nm of torque from 1750 rpm, and consumption in medium-cycle (stated) of 4.5 liters of diesel per 100 km with emission values equal to 117 g / km of CO2.

These days, the technical division of Rueil-Malmaison Renault has announced the production launch of the new Diesel Energy dCi 130 ", the result of a joint funding Renault - Nissan's $ 230 million and a design process started in 2006, which is produced in the French Cleon. According to project leaders, the Energy dCi 130 is the sum of the know-how in the development of diesel engines to reference: 1.5 dCi, 2.0 dCi, 2.3 dCi and V6 dCi.

Specifically, it is a unit designed to equip the C-segment models of Renault and Nissan, is, that is, a middle way between the current 1.5 dCi 110 and 2.0 with power of 150 and 180 hp. Will gradually replace the "old" block 1.9 dCi 130, F9Q family, for which the new Energy - the new parent, same name, a family of engines - promises, as attested to by the philosophy of downsizing, higher power output in proportion the lower capacity and at the same time, reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions (up to 20% less).

Technological innovations made by the new Energy dCi 130 are numerous. Since the adoption of the system start-stop device associated with the recovery of kinetic energy during braking, and other technological springboard: the low-pressure EGR system and Thermomanagement. The 1.5 dCi 130 turbodiesel Energy is produced in the plant in Cleon, in the French department of Seine-Maritime: in 2012, was a planned production capacity up to 150 thousand units per year, will increase as a way further in the coming years.

Also defined the goals of progressive reduction: Renault executives stress that, from the current 137 g / km CO2 average, the range in 2013 will lower this value to 120 g / km, to reduce it further to less than 100 g / km in 2016 (in this case thanks to the range of electric vehicles Renault ready to debut).
