IKCO unveiled a new generation of engines in a ceremony attended by President Hassan Rouhani in IKCO's booth in Iran Automotive Industry's Capabilities Exhibition in Tehran.
The president was accompanied by the Industry Minister Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh as well as a number of top managers from executive branch of the government.
Many believe that engine production is a big progress in the global car industry. In this respect, the advanced turbocharged internal combustion engines as well as the diesel engine fitting passenger cars are the latest IKCO achievements.
The diesel engine meets Euro 5 emission standard. Its capacity stands at 1.5 liter and its fuel consumption is about 5.2 liter per 100km.
The average fuel consumption reduction of 30 percent, a 40 percent decrease in emission compared with gasoline engines as well as better durability, handling, higher safety and finally reducing maintenance costs are among the main features of diesel powertrain.
The new turbocharged engines are set to be mounted on IKCO products in near future. The engines are highly efficient, generating 161hp with the torque of 288nm.
With retaining the technology, IKCO has cemented its status among the top producers of internal-combustion engines in the world.
Providing the highest torque in low revolution gives the driver greater convenience and control over their vehicles in traffic jam or on fast drive.
Meanwhile, a new intelligent system named Alfa Taxi was unveiled during the ceremony. The system has been designed by ISACO. Detailed calculation of taxi fare using taximeter and GPS, online payment, smart automatic positioning system to dispatch road assist, connection to ECU, remote diagnostic program and online connections are some of the main features of the system. Alfa Taxi will be installed on Samand and Peugeot 405 taxis in the next few months.
