Premiere for Premium Diesel
Hyundai’s First V6 Diesel features BV50 turbocharger from BorgWarner Turbo & Emissions Systems.
Powered by a turbocharged V6 3.0 litre diesel engine, the new Hyundai Veracruz is about to enter the premium SUV market. The so called S-engine, Hyundai’s first ever V6 diesel, was developed in cooperation with SeohanWarner Turbo Systems, Ltd. (SWTS), a BorgWarner Joint Venture in Korea. After previous collaborations for the A and J Engine, the 3.0 litre Diesel Engine Program represents the latest success of BorgWarner’s global management and project launch. “Thanks to the close coordination between the BorgWarner Turbo & Emissions Systems teams in Korea and Germany we could ensure high quality levels and technical support throughout the intensive program for Hyundai’s powerful V6 Diesel”, explains Roger J. Wood, Vice President, BorgWarner Inc.; President and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo & Emissions Systems.
Refined Performance – the S-Engine
With its maximum output of 176 kW at 3800rpm and 451 Nm of peak torque in the 1700 to 3500rpm range, the S-engine sets new standards of refinement and performance for a diesel. The engine’s six cylinders displace 2,959cc and are banked at 60 degrees, which is the optimal angle to minimize vibrations in a V6. Both innovative and effective turbocharging is achieved by the electronically controlled variable geometry BV50 turbocharger from BorgWarner Turbo & Emissions Systems. Compared to pneumatic actuator technology, the electric actuator of the third generation BV50 turbocharger leads to improved control accuracy and transient behaviour. Consequently,
it allows Hyundai’s engineers to better adjust the engine in terms of increased fuel economy and performance as well as advanced emission trade offs. Together with material refinements, including a selection of lightweight Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) for the cylinder block, these technologies lead to significantly reduced emissions. As a result, the turbocharged V6 diesel engine accomplished the first grade fuel economy in Korea and meets the latest Euro IV regulations.
First comments on the engine from Korean customers already reflect the potential of the 3.0 litre V6, for they truly doubted that
it is actually diesel powered.
