EXTREMELY EFFICIENT,
MORE POWERFUL THan EvER BEFORE:
THE
COMMOn RaIL
TdI EnGInES.
Modern engines have to fulfil exacting requirements: they should be powerful, deliver high torque and have a low maintenance requirement for many years to come. We have taken up this challenge – and developed four state-of-the-art 2.0 l TDI engines. Their low cubic capacity and efficient common rail technology make these engines especially economical. For example, the 120 kW engine1) with BlueMotion Technology consumes an average of only 7.2 l per 100 km and has CO2 emissions (combined) of only 189 g per km. The Crafter therefore even fulfils the strict EEV (Enhanced Environmentally Friendly Vehicle) and Euro 5 exhaust emission standards. Another new feature is that, with immediate effect, all output categories are prepared as standard for power take-offs – and can therefore be fitted more easily with refrigerant compressors and generators.
1) Crafter, 2.0 l BiTDI engine with 120 kW and BlueMotion Technology, fuel consumption in l/100 km: urban 8.5 to 7.8, extra-urban 7.5 to 6.7, combined 7.9 to 7.2. CO2 emissions in g/km: combined 208 to 189; efficiency class D to B. 2) Crafter, 2.0 l TDI engine with 80 kW, fuel consumption in l/100 km: urban 11.3 to 7.9, extra-urban 8.6 to 6.5, combined, 9.4 to 7.0. CO2 emissions in g/km: combined 247 to 184; efficiency class E to C. 3) Crafter, 2.0 l TDI engine with 100 kW, fuel consumption in l/100 km: urban 10.8 to 7.9, extra-urban 8.6 to 6.5, combined 9.4 to 7.0. CO2 emissions in g/km: combined 247 to 184; efficiency class E to C. 4) Crafter, 2.0 l BiTDI engine with 105 kW, fuel consumption in l/100 km: urban 11.1 to 9.9, extra-urban 8.1 to 7.6, combined 9.2 to 8.4.

CO2 emissions in g/km: combined 227 to 199; efficiency class E to C. Please contact your local Volkswagen dealer for details of the standard equipment and optional extras applicable in your country.
↓ CUBIC CAPACITY REDUCED:
from 2,461 cm3 to 1,968 cm3.
Downsizing is a decisive factor for the lower consumption of the engines. After all, when less fuel is injected, less fuel is consumed – yet the output is
the same: the 2.0 l TDI is available with 80 kW2), 100 kW3), 105 kW4) and 120 kW5).
↑ TORQUE InCREaSEd:
from 360 Nm to 400 Nm.
High torque is particularly important for everyday driving, e. g. for powerful acceleration even in low gears. Torque for the 120 kW5) Crafter has therefore again been increased – to 400 Nm. Together with average fuel consumption of only 7.2 l per 100 km with BlueMotion Technology, this is a best-in-class figure.
↓ OPERaTInG COSTS LOWEREd:
by as much as 25 % per annum.
The reduction in fuel consumption together with reliable engines, and maintenance and inspection expenses that
are now even lower, all help to reduce op-
erating costs by up to 25 % per annum.
↓ COnSUMPTIOn REdUCEd:
by up to 2.6 l per 100 km.
Through the use of efficient 4-cylinder engines with common rail technology and many BlueMotion Technology measures, it has been possible to reduce fuel consumption by between 1.7 l per 100 km (80 kW6)) and 2.6 l per 100 km (120 kW1)).
↑ PAYLOAD INCREASED:
by as much as 90 kg depending on model.
The lighter the vehicle, the higher the payload: this was another consideration that spurred us on to make the common rail units as compact as possible – so that you can transport even more on each and every trip.
ADDITIONAL SAVINGS OF UP TO 0.8 L
PER 100 KM:
THE CRaFTER WITH BLUEMOTIOn
TECHNOLOGY.
A further reduction in fuel consumption, less emissions – and nevertheless an increase in output. We have achieved this objective with the Crafter with a 120 kW engine* and BlueMotion Technology. It has torque of 400 Nm and average consumption of only 7.2 l per 100 km – i.e. 0.5 l per 100 km less in comparison with a Crafter model of the same output but without BlueMotion Technology. This is the result of a clever combination of several energy-saving measures. These include the start/stop system, intelligent energy management that conserves battery power, and regenerative braking whereby effective use is made of energy released during braking. Other features that help you to drive efficiently are cruise control, a high final drive ratio, and a gear recommendation. The latter is standard on every Crafter.
