Engines
The trend toward higher power densities
Tier regulations have pushed for more advanced engine technology and optimized systems, the rewards of which are more power from smaller engines.
In engines of similar or same displacement, the main factors that contribute to an increase in specific power are: utilization of more complex-structure turbochargers, such as variable-geometry or dual-stage; an increase in peak cylinder pressure and the use of an SCR-only aftertreatment system without any recycling of exhaust gas in cylinder, especially in engines with a displacement higher than four liters.
