Opel Movano 2010 has the new 2.3 liter Renault dCI engine

A new family of four-cylinder common-rail diesel engines (2.3 CDTI) provide low fuel consumption and emissions.

The engines are available in three output levels with 74 kW/100 hp, 92 kW/125 hp and 107 kW/146 hp. With an optional 105-liter tank, the operating range is nearly 1,400 kilometers.

Significant attention has been paid to ensuring that low fuel consumption is achieved in real world operating conditions, not just according to the EU combined cycle.

Despite a lower displacement than the outgoing model, the 2.3 CDTI will deliver higher levels of torque across the board at lower revolutions, emit less CO2 and can travel further per liter of fuel. Moreover, the valve train is chain-driven for lower maintenance costs.

All variants come with six-speed manual transmission. Automated Easytronic transmission, which combines high efficiency with the handling comfort of an automatic, is optionally available for the two more powerful output versions.

All three engines meet Euro 4 emissions standards. Engines can also be ordered with a diesel particulate filter.

An additional, particularly economic variant with low CO2 emissions will be added to the program in the second half of 2010.
