Almost 75 years have passed since the appearance of the first passenger diesel car. In February 1936 at the motor show in Berlin was represented by Mercedes-Benz 260D with a 2.6-liter diesel unit. Since then the diesel technologies were a few times perfect. And every other vehicle model comes with both petrol and diesel engines. The first diesel "civilian" car equipped with four-cylinder engine of 2.6 liters with antechamber, he developed a power of 45 hp at 3000 rpm. Mercedes-Benz 260D consumed a total of 9 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, which is 5 liters less than its gasoline counterpart. The first two batches of these vehicles were sold in taxi fleets, which appreciated the efficiency of diesel engines. Heavy to lift, slowly, the accelerating machines required two times less money on fuel. Bosch is involved in diesel technology since 1927, which is why Daimler brand used its injection system for its Mercedes-Benz 260D. Bosch by 1936 already in full produced diesel fuel pumps and pneumatic controls for them. By 1950, with rolled off the Jubilee one millionth diesel fuel pump, and in 1986 appeared the first electronic diesel control system of EDC (Electronic Diesel Control). After 11 years, Bosch engineers have presented the first system of Common Rail for passenger cars, and to this day she is constantly being improved. According to research conducted by Bosch, the proportion of newly registered passenger cars in the past 20 years has increased. In 1990 France was the leader for new diesel cars in the country accounted for about 33% of the fleet. Most inactive in the country using diesel engines was Great Britain - indicators did not hold out and up to 10%. Until now, France holds first place, sharing it with Spain - the share of diesels they make up 70% of the total vehicle fleet, and the most "lagging" countries were Germany - 40%. And, by 2008 the share of diesel cars in France reached 80%, but Burst crisis halted this trend. There were other setbacks in the history of diesel, for example, in 2004, the proportion of new cars running on diesel oil, fell sharply by an average of 10-15%. The reason for this was the introduction of environmental taxes in Europe, through which the cost of diesel fuel close to gasoline. In Russia, over the past three years, the segment sales of diesel cars stopped at one spot, despite the fact that the commercial vehicle segment develops. For example, in Europe about 50% LCV working on diesel while in Russia the figure is only 6%. Director of Sales Division "Diesel Systems" Anthony Diriksvishers told that this is due to the fact that in Russia, many still believe that diesel cars noisy neekologichnye and thin. But it is not: modern diesel engines consume on average 30% less fuel than gasoline engines emit 25% less harmful substances, and power, especially from the start, higher than that of similar machines running on gasoline. As proof of his allegations, Bosch has arranged a comparative test drive. Two Kia Sportage SUV chased each other from the start: one was set gasoline 2.0-liter engine produces 150 hp, while the second - a diesel 2.0-liter engine with 136 hp Journalists avtoizdany on personal experience that it's diesel version is easily outperforms the petrol from the start, as well as actively accelerates from 40 to 100 km / h. Just got the press to test drive the representatives of "old" diesel - Mercedes Sprinter 1998 Toyota Hilux 1999, and modern - Fiat Ducato and "Business Gazelle". With the help of employees we have found that the noise from engines older than the modern at 5 - 8 dB. Anthony Diriksvishers said, Bosch will continue to develop diesel technology and their introduction into the Russian market. And to make automakers more readily brought diesel versions of its cars in Russia, the company created a special lubrication additives that improve engine performance, protecting the components. Thus, Bosch is trying not just to sell technology to the market, but it's not at the expense of its quality and image. Text: Olga Zabelkina. Photos: Leonid Vorobyev.
