The aim of the research project was to develop a low emission and fuel saving drive concept for a compact car. The requirements of private and business use in towns are to be met. The targets of development aimed at include extremely low fuel consumption, low emission of harmful substances, extremely low external noise. The technical development was directed to acceptable driving and suitable dimensions for fitting into a compact vehicle. Apart from the description of the project, data are given on the engine (2 cylinder Diesel DI engine, exhaust gas feedback), gearbox (5 speed momentum automatic gearbox), control of engine and gearbox and noise prevention measures. There are also reports on test rig experiments and experience of test operation with three vehicles of the Volkswagen Polo type.
