Mercedes on Gas trail

Mercedes-Benz India, a subsidiary of Daimler group, has launched the new gasoline engine technology(CGI technology) in the country. The new CGI technology uses a spray guided combustion process on a sophisticated petrol direct-injection engine.
The CGI technology heralds a new era in gasoline engines with improved output, optimized consumption and even more impressive emission statistics, commented Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bharat Balasubramanian, Vice President Product Innovations Process Technologies, Group Research Advanced Engineering, Daimler AG, speaking to media persons at the launch event.
Among the most important components of this innovative direct petrol injection system are the fast-acting piezoelectric injectors. They have nozzles which open outwards to create an annular gap just a few microns wide. This gap shapes the fuel jet and produces a uniform, hollow-cone-shaped spray pattern. The microsecond response times of the piezoelectric injectors provide the basis for delivering multiple injections per power stroke, and thus for lean-burn operation.
The new C 200 CGI is competitively priced at Rs 26.25 lakh (ex-showroom Mumbai).
