The winning streak continues for Volkswagen. For the third time, the Volkswagen dual charged TSI engines have won the “International Engine of the Year Award” in the “1 liter to 1.4 liters” category. It is no coincidence that the 103 kW (140 PS) and 125 kW (170 PS) TSIs, which are charged by both a turbocharger and a supercharger, are among the most efficient petrol engines in the world. The motto for these engines is “maximum dynamics with minimum fuel consumption”. This is also how the jury, comprising of 65 journalists from 32 countries, saw it. According to one jury member, “this engine does everything right and fits into the most diverse types of vehicles.” Moreover, the new 122 PS TSI obtained second place in the same category in its first attempt. Dr. Rüdiger Szengel, head of Petrol Engine Development, accepted the award for Volkswagen, said “our TSI engines have set the standard since their introduction in the performance class of 90 kW to 125kW. They achieve new levels of economy for petrol engines while providing performance that offers real fun. We take it as a compliment to the entire development team that our TSI has won again in the displacement class of 1.4 liters.” __
