Audi cylinder-on-demand
Dynamic performance does not necessarily equate to
higher consumption – as the 1.4 TFSI® cylinder-on-
demand engine proves. Using advanced cylinder-on-
demand technology to automatically shut down two
of the four cylinders when the engine is operating at
lower loads, particularly when cruising on the motorway
or in city traffic, you benefit from the efficiency and
low emissions of a comparable diesel engine. Out on
the open road, meanwhile, the instantaneous power
of TFSI®, combining turbocharging with petrol direct
injection, is ready and waiting.
Recuperation
When a vehicle brakes, the discs convert the kinetic
energy into thermal energy, which is wasted as it cannot
be used. With a recuperation system,like the one that is
fitted as standard on all A3 models, the kinetic energy
is converted into useful electrical energy. The way it
works is simple. While the car is coasting or braking,
the alternator voltage is raised above the level of the
basic electrical system, which enables the alternator
to generate electrical energy and store it temporarily
in the battery. When the vehicle accelerates, this energy
is used to relieve the load on the alternator, resulting
in a fuel saving of up to 3%.
