Volkswagen to use CGI in diesels?

New technologies are finding their way into VW's modular diesel component system's future engine generation, according to the company’s chairman, speaking at the International Vienna Motor Symposium this week.

The VW chairman said these high-performance diesel engines will achieve peak power output of 100kW per litre of displacement and have a variable valve-train assembly, a high-pressure injection system at up to 3,000 bar and combined charging with the innovative e-booster.

This might suggest that VW is on the point of using compacted graphite iron (CGI) in its next generation diesel engines, most likely for cylinder blocks.
