Decisive in the triumph at Laguna Seca was the consumption advantage of the modern V12 TDI engine.

Fuel consumption has improved by 1.1 liters/100 km over the previous model.

In more powerful engines with greater displacement, the fuel saving is even greater.

The system cuts fuel consumption by 20 to 25 percent.

When traffic is heavy, fuel savings can rise to 17%.

These additional functions allow for further reductions in consumption while at the same time improving driving dynamics.

In reality, this consumption advantage exists only in heavy traffic with a lot of stop-and-go driving.

However, the curve with preinjection and with postinjection is then identical with this curve with preinjection and without postinjection, but with an increased advantage for specific consumption compared with FIG. 4.

Conversely, if one looks at the effect on the specific fuel consumption, one can see from FIG. 4b that the curves with postinjection and without postinjection have shifted relative to one another, in such a way that in operation with postinjection and a lower injection pressure, there is an advantage in terms of fuel consumption.

In addition to Euro V and EEV*, the new Actros is one of the first vehicles on the market with engines which meet the requirements of Euro VI as standard – giving a consumption advantage of up to 5 percent over the Euro V model.

In combination with the 64 KW/87 hp 1.4-liter naturally aspirated engine, Easytronic 3.0 cuts fuel consumption by up to 0.4 liters per 100 kilometers for the combined cycle compared to a five-speed manual transmission.

Compared to the fleet average for the spark-ignition engines, the most common power system in the USA, the TDI has a consumption advantage of up to 35 percent.

The new Easy Rider K 311 can contribute fuel savings of up to 0.5 litres per 100 kilometres with a full load on the three-axle unit.

In a volume-controlled load control a consumption advantage can be achieved in the partial load, as some of the cylinders are deactivated for minimization of the power loss in these cylinders and the rest of the cylinders are operated in a higher load state with lower charge exchange losses.

This produces a comfort advantage—the driver only needs to apply the brakes lightly—as well as a consumption advantage, since the losses in the torque converter are lower.

If these low efficiencies are applied to the NO x reduction with fuel, the theoretical amount of fuel to be used is so high that the fuel dose required for achieving the stipulated EURO IV exhaust gas standard overcompensates the advantageous consumption of the engine operated using a lean mixture.

At full load or at higher loads, this results in clear performance and fuel-economy advantages, while the maximum exhaust gas temperature is reduced.

Particularly the new brake energy recuperation system featured as standard, together with optional 19-inch all-season tyres offering reduced roll resistance, give the Panamera Turbo a further improvement of fuel consumption by 0.9 litres/100 km.

While other cars, opting for a similar strategy, ran out of fuel before the end, the Audi driver was able to take advantage of the low fuel consumption of the TDI engine and crossed the finish line in second position with the last drop of Shell V-Power Diesel.

Taking into account the weight reduction of around 200 kg, the experts at Mercedes-Benz have calculated a consumption advantage of around 4.5 percent.

For the switch from the Setra ComfortClass 400 to the new ComfortClass 500 the engineers expected a fuel economy advantage of five to six per cent for the new model.

Compared to the average fleet consumption of petrol engines typically fitted in the USA, the TDI offers a fuel saving of as much as 35 percent.

TDI is regarded as the world’s most successful Efficiency Technology, which, in contrast to the fleet average of the more common spark ignition engines in the U.S., achieves a consumption advantage of up to 40 per cent

Compared with the fleet average of the gasoline engines typically found in the U.S., the TDI boasts a fuel-efficiency advantage of up to 40 percent.

The result is a certified fuel economy advantage of 22 percent for the latest generation of the Mercedes-Benz Actros long-distance truck compared to the basic model of Page 2 1996, a Mercedes-Benz from the SK model series and therefore one of the last representatives of the pre-Actros era.

Fuel efficiency is also unmatched - the new 3.4L V-6 FourStroke is calibrated to maximize fuel economy at cruise, yielding an advantage of up to 15 percent compared to the closest four-cylinder competitor.

This represents an advantage of around 20 to 40 percent versus a comparable petrol model, and easily makes the Mercedes-Benz GL 320 BlueTEC the most economical full-size SUV in the USA.
