New range of diesel engines

New Trafic Passenger and New Renault Trafic Generation are available with an all-new range of environmentally-friendly diesel powerplants offering increased power and flexibility. The transmissions have also been revised for greater strength and a smoother drive.


A comprehensive powertrain range

The range of engines for New Renault Trafic Passenger and New Trafic Generation has evolved to offer even more driveability and flexibility thanks to their higher torque. To comply with Euro 4 standards, the 82hp (60kW) and 100hp (81kW) versions of the 1.9 dCi (F9Q) have been replaced by the new 2.0 dCi (M9R) which now delivers either 90hp (66kW) or 115hp (84kW). Both versions are coupled with a six-speed manual gearbox, and the more powerful of the two will shortly be available with the new six-speed robotized transmission. Meanwhile, power of the 2.5 dCi engine has been increased from 135hp to 150hp (107kW) and can be specified with either six-speed manual or robotized transmission. The 120hp (88kW) 2.0 16V petrol engine is also Euro 4-compliant.


90hp (66kW) and 115hp (84kW) 2.0 dCi: reliable, powerful and quiet-running

The 2.0 dCi engine (M9R) is now available on New Renault Trafic Passenger and New Renault Trafic Generation. Derived from a Renault-led Renault-Nissan joint development, this new 1995cc unit features all the latest diesel engine technologies available on the market, including piezo-electric injectors, 1,600-bar commonrail injection, fixed-geometry turbo and new-generation combustion chambers. Two versions of differing power outputs are available, both of which ensure excellent pick-up response, driving pleasure and low fuel consumption.

- 90hp (66kW) version. Maximum power is reached at 3,500rpm and remains available until the limiter kicks in at 4,250rpm. This version of the 2.0 dCi outputs 240Nm of torque at 1,600rpm and consumes 7.9l/100km in a combined cycle. This engine can be ordered with the new PF6 six-speed manual gearbox.

- 115hp (84kW) version. Maximum power is reached at 3,500rpm and remains available until the limiter kicks in at 4,250rpm. The torque of this particularly flexible and responsive engine peaks at 290Nm from 1,600rpm. Its fuel consumption is 7.9l/100km. This engine is available with either the new PF6 six-speed manual gearbox or, in 2007, the PA0 six-speed robotized transmission, which is an evolution of the PA6 transmission.

Both versions of the 2.0 dCi boast a very broad useful rev band, with outstanding pick-up response from low engine speeds all the way up to maximum revs which are set at 4,250rpm. For power, comfort and safety, 90% of torque is available from 1,500rpm all the way up to 3,250rpm.

For maximum efficiency, the 2.0 dCi engine features Bosch piezo-electric injection which improves fuel injection speed. They are also equipped with valve control by roller cam followers and hydraulic stops for less friction and consequently lower fuel consumption. Control of noise was a priority throughout the development of this engine and the bottom end, which features an aluminium bedplate, is engineered to ensure enhanced damping of vibrations. The long cast-iron crankcase skirt and sump and timing covers are also designed to absorb vibrations. Finally, the chain-driven timing gear not only enhances the engine's acoustic performance but also its reliability and durability.



150hp (107kW) 2.5 dCi: response and performance

This evolution takes the level of the New Trafic Passenger and New Trafic Generation engine range a step higher. Like the 16-valve 2.2 dCi from which it is derived, it benefits from common-rail direct injection, a 16-valve cylinder head, tubular twin overhead camshafts and roller cam followers.
