his driving. The new machines were 23 percent shorter and lighter 10 percent, compared to 4-cylinder engine, thus opening further development opportunities, in order to use the methane gas feed or a combination of hybrid technology. In particular, a version of methane Twin-Air will be available and immediately gave the reduction of CO2 emissions is higher, it is possible to adopt a pair of special injector than gasoline in the intake manifold injector. So is to use a hybrid system. Precisely because of their small size, Twin-Air well suited to be accompanied by an electric motor, with a device arranged between the engine and gearbox to recover and store energy during braking. Core labor Twin-Air systems are the electro-hydraulic valve management system in which fuel is working to reduce consumption by controlling the air directly through the inlet valve. With a small engine capacity, but has turbo can increase the maximum torque, power is available at very low rpm, so the accuracy of the response will be much better than with conventional machinery.
