Since the coming of the Hondas 2.2-liter diesel engine life has been made a bit easier if not simpler. Many will agree that the Hondas diesel hybrids engines are the best way to increase fuel economy, although this comes at a pricey cost of emissions treatment systems its still an effective way to reduce the fuel consumption. The modern concern of current car buyers is the fuel economy and engine efficiency. The fuel economy has to satisfy the expectations of the car buyers if any car model is to make a meaningful sale on the market.
The reception offered to the Honda diesel Engine in 2009 was enormous especially to the aluminum engine that was fairly conventional in that it had a balanced shaft, dual overhead cams, and high fuel pressure. The Honda Diesel has consistently undergone various modifications in a bid to develop an acceptable product that will appeal to the entire big customer base.
The Honda Diesel engine offers a t least 150 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Honda engineers have delivered a diesel engine that is about 44 pounds heavier than a similar gas engine of previous models. It is definite that the Honda Diesel has not disappointed many people.
The key elements that I consider important in the new Honda diesel engine is the keen eye that went into at least finding a practical solution into ensuring that fuel economy is central to the whole engine development. Indeed Hondas insistence and determination into developing a car engine that ultimately solves the mystery of fuel economy cannot be over emphasized. Recently Hondas teams of experts and engineers have tried to come up with rechargeable batteries that possess enough power and capability to serve as an alternate source of fuel. Whether this form of technology is likely to completely revolutionize the entire car industry is entirely debatable.
Many have argued that such attempts to develop FCX fuel-cell car may end up in futility, but the determination shown by Honda so far is simply impressive. As a matter of fact Honda has successfully increased the power density of the fuel cell so that it produces about 130 horsepower. This is highly applicable, although the real success is yet to come at least according to Honda. Honda continues to invest resources into the fuel-cell technology with the hope that a permanent feasible solution will ultimately be found.
