Nissan Motor Co. says it has developed a new turbocharging system that provides improved torque and
engine response
at low
speeds in city driving.Nissan says the new system will give a 2.5 - liter
engine the same fuel
efficiency as a 2.0 - liter
engine and the same low -
speed torque as a naturally aspirated 3.5 - liter
engine.The new system will be introduced in new models for the Japanese market later this year.The system is based on what Nissan calls a «linear charge concept,» which allows boost pressure to rise gradually with acceleration, increasing on a linear level from low to
high speeds.
Designed for
high efficiency at every
speed: The seventh gear is configured as a
high - geared overdrive which reduces
engine speed, thus cutting fuel consumption.
