Environmental Benefits of Advanced Diesel Technologies 

  • Common rail direct fuel injection improves the efficiency and timing of combustion, resulting in improved fuel consumption and lower emissions
  • A diesel particulate filter significantly reduces particulate matter emissions
  • Advanced technology glow plugs improve cold starting of the diesel engine, reducing fuel consumption and emissions at start-up

The ecoTECHNOLOGY for Vehicles (eTV) program acquired the Renault Mégane dCi 110 because it is equipped with advanced diesel technologies, including common rail direct fuel injection, advanced glow plugs to reduce cold starting problems and a diesel particulate filter with regeneration. These technologies allow the Mégane to obtain low fuel consumption (combined city/highway rating of 4.6 L/100 km) and to lower the vehicle’s emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants.

The vehicle’s piezoelectric injectors and common rail direct fuel injection introduce precise amounts of fuel at a very high pressure. The resulting fine mist of fuel allows for a more homogeneous mixture of fuel and air in the cylinder, providing a more efficient combustion and reducing vibration and noise. The diesel particulate filter traps unburned carbon deposits (soot) before they can be released into the atmosphere, reducing particulate matter emissions and minimizing the impact on the health of Canadians.

In addition, the Mégane dCi110 offers less than 140 grams of CO2 per kilometre, and is 95% recyclable by mass – standard vehicles are usually about 75% recyclable by mass.
