Honda Unveils Earth Dreams Technology
The world’s largest maker of petrol engines, Honda, didn’t take easily to making diesels. Despite clear indications and global trends, the Japanese car and motorcycle manufacturer shied away from ‘dirty oil burners’ for years. Honda culture was all about petrol engines. Built on the bedrock of motorsport, high-revving petrol engines and driving pleasure, diesels were an anathema. But the skyrocketing price of fuel and a loss of market share in certain markets has forced Honda’s hand. The new i-DTEC diesel engine is first small capacity diesel to be launched by Honda.
Known as Earth Dreams Technology, this new 1.6 engine will make its introduction at the beginning of 2013 and offers a potentially class-leading combination of 118bhp and 30.5kgm torque. Honda’s 1.5-litre i-DTEC motor for India uses the same architecture as the 1.6 and also comes with the same sophisticated hardware to reduce the weight and friction.
