It's an automatic system, meaning the driver doesn't have to do anything when an automatic burn is conducted roughly every 500km.Įmissions-compliance systems such EGR, SCR (selective catalytic reduction) and DPDs (or DPFs – diesel particulate filters) have been used in trucks for years. The engine features redesigned pistons, fuel injectors and a fuel pump, along with a new variable-geometry turbocharger, a larger EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) cooler with a redesigned bypass valve, new ceramic glow plugs, a new intelligent battery sensor and a diesel particulate diffuser.Īlready common in the wider commercial vehicle world, the DPD essentially traps particulate matter in the exhaust gas in a filter, then safely burning off the trapped matter when the filter has reached its capacity. Produced exclusively for the Australian market and already subjected to more than 100,000 real-world test kilometres, the engine features a number of new features aimed at securing its cleaner, gruntier credentials. Importantly, some 380Nm – the old unit's peak torque figure – is now available from 1700rpm (100rpm lower) to 3500rpm (700rpm higher). The new engine now has Euro 5 emissions compliance while still boasting improved performance: the same peak power of 130kW is retained, while peak torque is now 50Nm higher, at 430Nm. Instead, and as the recent media launch of the updated 2017 D-MAX revealed, the upgraded D-MAX and its MU-X SUV sibling are powered by a heavily reworked version of Isuzu's previous 3.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel. However, Isuzu's General Manager for Sales of Europe, Middle East and Oceania, Keiichi Yagai, told at last year's Paris motor show that the new oiler wasn't earmarked for the Australian market, although he declined to offer any further details.
The Euro 5 emissions-compliant engine is claimed to be 19 per cent more fuel efficient, producing 161 grams of CO2 per kilometre. The 1.9-litre 'DDI Blue Power' unit produces 110kW and 350Nm, offering both more power and torque than its 2.5-litre predecessor while weighing 20 per cent less. Isuzu UTE Australia says its customers do not yet want an engine like the smaller-capacity 1.9-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel unveiled in its new D-MAX ute in Thailand last year, but stops short of ruling the unit out completely for our market in future.
