Elasis conduct product engineering activities on the Fire Multiair engine, the first application of the innovative Multiair valve control system. Combining the new technology (developed entirely by FPT) with the Fire engine will bring further improvements in fuel economy while at the same time increasing the engine’s power output. The engine will be produced in 135 and 105 horsepower versions.
A 165 hp version is also planned for high-performance vehicles. In addition to this work, Elasis carried out product engineering on the Small Gasoline Engine, which will be produced in turbocharged and naturally aspirated versions. This engine, which features all the benefits of ultra-downsizing, will have significantly lower CO2 emissions and will be installed on compacts, sub-compacts and entry level mid-size cars.
A turbocharged natural gas version of this engine is now in the design stage.
