THE DI ADVANTAGE
The smaller the fuel particle the better the combustion.
Our Direct Injection system sends a mist of microscopic,
atomized fuel and air particles directly into the cylinder.
Eighty-nine times smaller than the diameter of a human
hair, these fuel particles burn quicker, cleaner and more
completely producing fewer emissions, better fuel
economy and more responsive performance.
