The
world’s first high-volume gasoline engine with a compacted graphite iron (CGI)
cylinder block will be launched within 12 months.
The new engine will be the
world’s first highest-volume CGI engine. It will also establish a new benchmark
for packaging, size, performance and refinement.
SinterCast, which develops
and produces specialised process control technology that enables production of
high-quality CGI material, has confirmed what many in the powertrain industry
have suspected for some time – that a major OEM is about to launch a gasoline
engine with a CGI cylinder block.
