The new Crafter - with state-of-the-art common rail TDI engines..

Nowadays engines have to be more efficient than ever before: they should have high torque and be as powerful as possible, have a low maintenance requirement and run for over 200,000 kilometres.
We have taken up this challenge – and developed three ultra-modern 2.0 l TDI engines that fulfil even the strict Enhanced Environmentally friendly Vehicle (EEV) and Euro V exhaust emission standard.
Nowadays engines have to be more efficient than ever before: they should have high torque and be as powerful as possible, have a low maintenance requirement and run for over 200,000 kilometres.We have taken up this challenge – and developed three ultra-modern 2.0 l TDI engines that fulfil even the strict Enhanced Environmentally friendly Vehicle (EEV) and Euro V exhaust emission standard.
All engines are very economical due, among other things, to reduced cubic capacity and common rail technology. Average fuel consumption for the 120 kW engine starts at only 7.7 litres per 100 km and CO2 emission combined is only 203 g per km. With immediate effect, all output categories are prepared as standard for auxiliaries – and can therefore be fitted more easily with refrigerant compressors and generators.
 
These are the advantages of the new common rail TDI engines:

  • Cubic capacity reduced – from 2,461 cm3 to 1,968 cm3. A decisive factor for the new engines’ low fuel consumption is their lower cubic capacity. After all, when less fuel is injected, less fuel is consumed – yet the output is the same: the 2.0 l TDI is available with 80 kW, 100 kW and 120 kW.
  • Torque increased – from 360 Nm to 400 Nm. High torque is particularly important for everyday driving, e. g. for powerful acceleration even in low gears. Torque for the 120 kW Crafter has therefore again been increased – to 400 Nm. Together with average fuel consumption of 7.7 litres per 100 km this is a best-in-class figure.
  • Fuel consumption reduced – by up to 2.1 litres per 100 km. Through the use of 4-cylinder diesel engines with low fuel consumption and common rail technology, it has been possible to reduce fuel consumption by between 1.2 litres per 100 km (80 kW) and 2.1 litres per 100 km (120 kW).
  • Operating costs lowered – by up to 10 % per annum. The reduction in fuel consumption, reliable engines and maintenance/ inspection expenses that are now even lower, help to reduce operating costs by approx. 10 %.
  • Payload increased – by as much as 90 kg depending on model. The lighter the vehicle, the higher the payload: this was another consideration that spurred us on to make the new common rail units as compact as possible – so that you can transport even more on each and every trip.


Fuel consumption/CO2-emissions

The fuel consumption and CO2 emission figures listed have been established in accordance with the measuring method stipulated (the version of EC directive 715/2007 which is currently valid).

Note in accordance with the currently valid version of directive 1999/94/EC: These figures do not refer to a particular vehicle and do not constitute part of the offer but are purely for comparison purposes between the various types of vehicle. In addition to the fuel efficiency of a vehicle, driving behaviour as well as other non-technical factors play a role in determining a vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. CO2 is the main greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. A guide on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions which contains data for all commercial vehicle models is available free of charge at every point of sale in the European Union and, for prospective buyers in Germany, at DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Strasse 1, 73760 Ostfildern.
