On March 30th, a TSI engine representing the international advanced level was put into production at Volkswagen FAW Engine (Dalian) Co., Ltd., marking the start of the implementation of the German Volkswagen's engine strategy in China. The total investment of Volkswagen FAW Engine (Dalian) Co., Ltd. is approximately RMB 1.5 billion. It is a joint venture jointly established by Volkswagen Group and China FAW, with Volkswagen occupying 60% of the shares and FAW Group holding 40% of the shares. The company signed a contract in December 2004, laid the foundation in May 2005, and began mass production at the end of 2006. As the most advanced engine manufacturing company in China, the company's engine products will not only be equipped with domestic models, but also exported to the international market.

Dr. Van Ander, president and CEO of Volkswagen Group (China), announced at the ceremony: "Volkswagen Group (China) will launch the 'Powertrain Strategy' - by 2010, will be produced by Shanghai Volkswagen and FAW-Volkswagen. The fuel consumption and emissions of the series are reduced by more than 20%. The launch of the turbocharged direct-injection gasoline engine synchronized with Europe at the Volkswagen FAW Engine (Dalian) Company is the starting step of this strategy."
The new engine produced by Volkswagen FAW (Dalian) Engine Co., Ltd. is a 1.8-liter, in-line 4-cylinder, 4-valve engine. It uses leading technologies such as direct injection of gasoline and turbocharger. Its maximum power is 118 kilowatts, which is equivalent to 2.2-2.4 liters. Point the power level of the gasoline engine; 250 Newton meters of torque is the leader. The most outstanding power performance of this engine is that it can maintain the maximum output power and maximum torque in a wide range of speed: 118-kilowatt speed range of 5000-6200 rpm, 250 Newton meters speed range of 1500-4200 Turn/minutes. The constant super power increases the elastic range that speed and acceleration adapt to the gear. While achieving excellent power performance, this new engine also significantly reduces fuel consumption, which directly reduces carbon dioxide emissions and meets the world's most stringent emission standards.
The engine was formerly known as TFSI. According to the German Volkswagen's latest nomenclature, the “F†was cancelled and it is now called TSI. Inside the German Volkswagen, the model of the engine is EA888, which is the most advanced gasoline engine of the German Volkswagen. It is worth noting that, in order to adapt to the low-speed shifting habits of Chinese users, the engine has particularly increased low-speed torque.
Wu Yanfeng, general manager of China First Automobile Group, said in his speech: “The joint venture to produce high-end engines in Dalian is a new measure for both shareholders to respond to the ever-increasing competition in China’s auto market with all-encompassing products, technologies, and costs. It also marks the presence of a modern-day engine. The world-leading technology and the launch of new high-end automotive engines to be synchronized with the European market will be born in China. According to the on-site staff, the cylinder heads of the engine have already been supplied by FAW. At the scene, people saw that almost all the equipment came from Germany and the production line had a very high degree of automation.
Van Andel said in his speech: “This is an important step taken by Volkswagen Group (China) and its joint venture companies in becoming China’s greenest car manufacturing company. This step includes not only the latest generation of engines, but also Including the introduction of the latest gearbox technology, the simultaneous use of these two new technologies on the vehicle means saving more than 20% of fuel and reducing emissions by more than 20%. By 2010, we will have greater improvement and use. Newer engine technology and advanced automatic transmission technology. In addition, the use of lightweight aluminum alloys and magnesium alloys in some parts will also provide additional performance improvements."
Van Andel pointed out: "I stress once again that the challenge of environmental protection on a global scale cannot be achieved through technology that is expensive and can only be targeted at a few people; it can only be achieved through economic, environmentally friendly technologies that serve most people. In this context, we invested in Dalian to build a new engine plant, but customers do not need to pay extra for this. Our new technology will not make the car more expensive. On the contrary, in addition to the above mentioned The advantage of saving fuel, it can also provide more power and torque."
