Although the heat of new energy vehicles continues to be hot, it is undeniable that fuel vehicles are still the main models now, and its heat in the market has not diminished at all. For fuel vehicles, its most core technology is the engine, according to the different ways of engine intake, can be divided into turbocharged engines and naturally aspirated engines, for these two types of engines, many amateurs believe that Japanese cars have a special love for self-priming engines, and Volkswagen-led German cars, they prefer to use turbocharged engines, these are the content that everyone can identify at a glance.
Why doesn't Toyota like developing turbocharged engines?
If you carefully study the development history of Japanese cars, you will understand that Japanese cars are not unaware of the existence of turbocharged engines, and their understanding of turbocharged engines is not backward. Toyota led the Japanese car, it has developed a turbocharged engine in the 1970s, and the technology was applied to the sixth generation of the Crown model, although the turbocharged engine is powerful, explosive, economic and fuel-efficient, but the turbocharged engine acceleration delay phenomenon is a common problem at that time, which seriously affected the driving texture of the vehicle, because the problem is difficult to overcome for a while, Toyota will gradually give up the development of turbocharged engines, in the next one or two decades, Toyota has never touched a turbocharged engine.
On the other hand, Toyota also found a new research direction, Toyota expected that with the increasing exhaustion of energy, low-emission, low-energy models are the future development direction, as a goal, Toyota found hybrid technology, through the blessing of hybrid technology, the car can achieve nearly zero emissions of this ideal target value, found that after this major breakthrough, in the next few decades, Toyota began to focus on the HEV field, turbocharged engine will inevitably be selectively abandoned by Toyota Motor.
Volkswagen's dedication to turbocharged engines
At the end of the 20th century, with the gradual prevalence of turbocharged engines, Volkswagen began to realize its importance, after all, the global automotive industry began to shout the slogan of "energy saving and emission reduction", and the Chinese automotive industry was also formulating National 1 emission regulations and standards. For Volkswagen, the turbo engine is definitely a life-saving medicine, after all, the engine is powerful, the explosive power is excellent, its driving experience is deeply loved by the Germans, the most important thing is that the fuel consumption of the turbocharged engine is still very low, it is conducive to achieving the standard of "energy saving and emission reduction", so Volkswagen began to work on the development of turbocharged engines.
In fact, the early turbo engine is not accepted by Chinese consumers, after all, the turbocharged engine is also a new technological change, the change in the intake mode leads to the extreme deterioration of the engine working environment, the turbocharged engine often has large and small problems, but the public did not give up, but actively collected problems, analyzed the problem, through their endless pursuit of science and technology, and finally made the durability and stability of the turbocharged engine significantly improved. Now Volkswagen's two most popular turbo engines are 1.4T and 2.0T, these two turbocharged engines, can be said to be "to have performance and performance, to fuel consumption and fuel consumption", their value has been recognized by Chinese consumers.
However, do not think that Japanese cars do not know anything about turbocharged engines, in fact, this is not the case, although Japanese cars put the focus of work in the HEV model, but the technical basis of their turbocharged engines has not been forgotten, in the era of turbocharged engines, in order to cater to the tastes of Chinese consumers, Toyota developed 1.2T and 2.0T turbo engines, Honda developed 1.5T Earth Dream engine, Japanese cars on the turbo engine technology is still very comprehensive, but the Development of Japanese cars on the power system is not in the field of fuel vehicles, but EV, HEV and other models, in the long run, compared to German cars, Japanese cars consider more comprehensively, the understanding of energy conservation and emission reduction is also more profound.
