Inline engines are widely used in the domestic car, almost all of the domestic car and the class four cylinder inline engine models are classic examples: BMW has been firmly supported the inline engine, the BMW L6 (inline six cylinder engine) both in technology and in content, the number of cylinders performance can be regarded as inline engines in the extreme. BMW's top models, the new 7 Series cars are still using L6 engine version. The V type engine, all cylinders are divided into two groups, the adjacent cylinder at a certain angle arrangement together, the two groups have formed a cylinder plane angle, see a cylinder V shape from the side, so that the V type engine.
According to the structure of a car engine has more than 3 cylinders, the main engine for classification is based on the layout and arrangement of the cylinder to divide. There are several general line, V type, W type and flat. The inline engine (LineEngine), which are all in the same cylinder side by side angle arranged in a plane, the utility model has the advantages of cylinder block and crankshaft structure is very simple, and the use of a cylinder cover, low manufacturing cost, compact size. Inline engine with high stability, low speed torque characteristic and the fuel consumption is less, but the drawback is that the power is low, and is not suitable for the more than 6 cylinders with the engine.
The traditional domestic diesel engine has been given to the heavy volume, large vibration and noise and pollution serious impression, so the domestic car basically using gasoline engine, but in recent years, some well-known foreign car dealers will begin the new diesel engine technology is introduced into the China, greatly improve our prejudice of the diesel engine, for example FAW Volkswagen Bora has just launched the TDI diesel engine, its environmental protection, power and comfort are not inferior to the gasoline engine and diesel engine has unique large torque and low fuel consumption, the market is very promising.
