Suzuki has developed a lightweight and compact 0.8 litre two-cylinder turbodiesel engine for compact cars - the unit has made its debut in India on the Maruti Suzuki Celerio Diesel. The little oil burner is significant in that it's the first diesel designed and built in-house by Suzuki - prior diesels utilised by the automaker have been supplied from or produced under the license of other manufacturers.
The blown E08A has a 793 cc displacement, and output figures are a modest 47 hp at 3,500 rpm and 125 Nm of twist at 2,000 rpm. Suzuki touts fuel efficiency at 27.6 km per litre for the engine
The unit features an aluminium block and a compact fuel distributor system and turbocharger to aid in weight reduction, and a large intercooler and decreased compression ratio offers a high torque output and fuel efficiency.
Vibration has also been tackled in a big way - the low frequency vibration specific to a two-cylinder diesel engine has been mitigated by optimising the flywheel. Elsewhere, the Celerio Diesel gets additional sound insulation material, a new engine mount and enhanced vehicle body rigidity to further reduce vibration and combustion noise from the mill.
