03 Jul 2014|2,267 views
The award for the 1.4-litre TSI was presented to Carsten Helbing, Head of Application EA888 and Alternative Fuels in the Volkswagen Petrol Engine Development Division.
For several years, the TSI brand has stood for intelligent downsizing from Volkswagen. Despite their comparatively small cubic capacity, the TSI engines produce levels of power output, that until recently, only engines with a considerably bigger capacity were able to offer.
The first TSI engine in 2006 was the twincharger - another award winner - which has high torque and efficiency, thanks to an additional turbocharger and mechanical compressor.
The TSI twincharger is available in different power levels from 138bhp to 167bhp and continues to be offered in a multitude of models.
The International Engine of the Year Award is a competition that has been held annually since 1999, in which more than 80 motoring journalists from all over the world give awards to the best engines in a range of different categories. Factors incorporated into the assessment via a special points system include the journalists' personal driving experience, fuel efficiency, engine noise and power output.
By claiming the International Engine of the Year award for the ninth successive time, under the 1.0-litre to 1.4-litre category, the Volkswagen TSI has emerged as the most successful engine in the history of this international competition for engine technology.
