许多分析家和工程师认为,上周本田和三菱分别介绍的新型节油发动机表明,传统汽油发动机尚未达到开发限值。但是,新型“稀混合气燃烧”发动机并不代表技术突破,因为它带来了一些污染问题,未真正达到美国企业平均油耗标准。 日本厂家经理们和美国三大汽车公司的工程师们一致指出,至少在未来的一段时间内,新型发动机只装用在小型小客车上,因此限制其市场的吸引力。 本田总裁说,这项新技术能大量节省燃油而不影响发动机性能。但是我不清楚其销路如何,如今,消费者不太注重节省汽油。 本田和三菱的1.5L、4缸发动机在不损失功率的情况下,分别节油10％和20％。本田指出,仅改造发动机本身就能节油 Many analysts and engineers believe the new fuel-efficient engines introduced last week by Honda and Mitsubishi, respectively, show that traditional gasoline engines have not yet reached development limits. However, the new “lean burn” engine does not represent a technological breakthrough as it poses a number of pollution problems and does not really meet the average fuel consumption standard for U.S. companies. Japanese factory managers and engineers at the Big Three automakers in the United States unanimously pointed out that at least for some time in the future the new engines will only be used on small-size minibuses, limiting their market appeal. Honda president said the new technology can save a lot of fuel without affecting engine performance. But I do not know how its sales, and now, consumers are less concerned about saving gasoline. Honda and Mitsubishi 1.5L, 4-cylinder engine without losing power, respectively, saving 10% and 20%. Honda pointed out that only by reforming the engine itself can save fuel
