"Land Rover are building their new engines at a state of the art factory near Wolverhampton. The first to be produced are the ' Ingenium ' family of premium diesel & petrol engines. The company says the ingenium engines deliver class leading levels of torque, horsepower, & refinement while reducing emissions & fuel consumption. The engines are based on strong & compact aluminium blocks for both diesel & petrol engines .
The lightweight blocks share the same bore, stroke, cylinder spacing & 500cc cylinder capacity. . This helps give Ingenium the configurability & flexibility around which smaller or larger engines can quickly & efficiently be developed to meet future requirements. [ according to the article] . All diesel & petrol engines will be equipped with advanced turbo chargers that improve performance , particularly at low speeds, & help reduce consumption & CO2 emissions.
The first engine to go into volume production is a 2.0 litre diesel known as AJ200D.Friction is reduced by 17% compared to the current engine, helping to make it one of the most efficient & responsive 2.0 litre diesels in its class. Features include roller bearings on cam & balance shafts [ instead of machined in bearing surfaces] computer controlled variable oil & water pumps & electronically controlled piston cooling jets. All Ingenium engines will be equipped with advanced & efficient turbo chargers, central direct high-pressure fuel injection, variable valve timing & stop-start technology. " Ingenium? it's not April 1, so it must be true. There is a photo of the first engine above the article, looks very compact. Bob
I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food
A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

It never ceases to amaze me how the auto industry persists with the pertol/diesel engine. At best, it is only 50% efficient, and with all that wiz bang technology hanging off it, it is becoming even less reliable. I wonder how far alternate energy engines would have been developed if they spent even a small percentage of their efforts in this direction. Computer controlled oil and coolant pumps! The mind boggles.

Not in that article, at least. Found this on the web, Bob

Call me a luddite, can't see these catching on in Africa, and from what I have heard about mechanics understanding the TD5 outside the big cities, even now, I have a bad feeling about this. They may be wonderful engines. But I can't help feeling Land Rover have lost a large market. Won't worry them, the Evoque was the biggest selling LR vehicle last financial year. I think they are going for the USA market. Can't blame them, business is business. Bob

I should think so, that's an auto trans drive plate that the torque converter would bolt to.

Do you have an alternative to internal combustion engines?

Africa has plenty of old and low tech engines to keep them going on watery diesel.
The td5 doesn't meet current emissions standards. Car companies can evolve and meet challenges or fold up and sell off their assets.

If he says electric I'll shoot him.
