4 Cylinder, 8 Valve(2/cyl) Renault/Dacia X-90= OCP


Project Renault-Dacia X90 (2004)

The X90 is the main project of Renault and Dacia for the entrance
from this mark to the emergent markets.

The main characteristics of this project are in the cost that must
have the car, because it will have to be available from 5000 euros,
and will have to be to the height of the most modern and present
automobiles of the world-wide market, in the matter of design and
accessories. According to it is known, it will be constructed on the
platform of the Renault Mégane II and will have 4 variants
available: 4 doors, break, 5 doors and Pick-Up.

In the matter of motors, until now one knows that the X90 and its
variants will include a motor of 1,600 cs. c., 8 valves, multipoint
injection and 90 horsepowers. At this moment, this project is being
developed in the Tecnocentro de Renault in Guyancourt, France, and
it is had glided to present/display it to the press in June of 2004,
and to initiate his commercialization in Rumania, Russia and other
countries of Europe Oriental and Africa of the North, the 15 of
September of 2004.

In Rumania, publication of photos spies of X90 Sedan (to the left)
has caused much commotion, because it has revealed which the
external appearance of this automobile is very similar to of the
Volkswagen Bora, known in Colombia like "Jetta". As it can be seen,
between the 1310 and X90 there are a very long stretch, and many
million euros of by means, in favor of the progress and the
technology, with which Dacia progresses of the hand of the Renault
Group.

Surely, this one will be one of the next models of Renault in
Colombia and it knows that if is obtained the integration of the
autopartistas and the Colombian automotive industry (Sofasa, in this
case), the X90 could be made in 2005 in the plant of Sofasa in
Envigado, from where it would be exported to countries like Mexico,
Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Chile and Bolivia.

From The 2003 Concise Financial Report:

A recently completed extensive development and application program
by

Orbital for a European customer has confirmed that the Orbital direct

injection technology when applied to optimised designs of 4-stroke

engines continues to deliver benefits ahead of competing

technologies.

This customer program involved designing a new 2-valve, 4-cylinder

variant of an existing production engine featuring the close

integration of Orbital's direct fuel injection technology in the

preferred configuration of a centralised injector. In

addition to the design and analysis of the new cylinder

head and ancillary systems, Orbital was responsible for

all engine test and development activities including

engine dynamometer development of emissions and full

load performance, verification of operation and vehicle

chassis dynamometer calibration of emissions,

drivability and catalyst system development. The

resulting demonstrator vehicle delivered a fuel economy

improvement over the standard production vehicle of

approximately 17% using the European drive cycle

together with emissions below Euro 4 levels.

Orbital continues to work with a number of automotive

customers on programs which, if successful, could lead

to future serial production.

markets.
