Renault’s 1.5 and 1.6-litre diesel engines are the first diesel units for passenger cars worldwide to come equipped with steel pistons.
MAHLE’s MONOTHERM pistons reduce friction in the engine while improving thermodynamics, effectively boosting fuel efficiency by some three per cent.
Prior to their introduction in mass-produced vehicles, MAHLE steel pistons were already being successfully deployed on the racetrack, in events such as the Le Mans 24-hour race.
The steel pistons recently received Renault’s award for Outstanding Innovation Performance in 2014.
