With the introduction of the state-of-the-art Multijet engines, Fiat paved the way for refined, more efficient diesel cars across the world. Until the introduction of these engines, diesel automobiles were seen as non eco-friendly and low on power. The Multijet engines helped change customer perception and increase the penetration of diesel vehicles in automobile markets worldwide. Customers now see diesel cars as powerful yet low on consumption. In some cases they are even considered to be more powerful than some petrol automobiles.
Fiat’s Multijet engines have also been used by international automakers like Opel (in the Opel Agila Corsa, Meriva, and Astra amongst others) and Saab (9-5, 9-3X) to great effect. Similarly, the Multijet technology is used by car makers other than Fiat in India as well. With the 1.3 multijet diesel engine being the smallest common rail diesel engine being produced internationally, Fiat has been instrumental in giving the diesel auto segment a significant presence in markets worldwide. The engine is also the frontrunner in engine power/ displacement ratio, making the Multijet engine one of the best that diesel technology has to offer today.
In India, the Multijet engine is manufactured at Fiat’s Ranjangaon facility. The engines are assembled on state of the art assembly lines which have a high level of automation for all critical operations to guarantee world class quality. Testing of the engines and transmissions is carried out on Cold Test benches which, besides performing in depth checks are also environmentally friendly. Machining of critical components like cylinder block, crankshaft, cylinder head, cam carrier, transmission shafts and gears is done on the latest CNC machines with a very high degree of accuracy and automation. Sophisticated inspection equipment ensures that the quality of the components is of the highest level.

Ramakrishnan, these engines are not for sale to you. Fiat only sells to partner companies like GM and Fiat.

Thanks for your Reply M/s.fas. I am asking you whether the engine suits to Gen.sets ?

you need an industrial diesel engine designed for running a generator, not a car sourced diesel.The applications are different

There is no much differences in between Industrial and automotive engines. Only Central excise and other Taxes, Industrial engines cheaper. If I get a above engine, I am able to make a best 3 phase Generator set with a very much smooth and powerful performance.

The fiat multijet has turned my perception towards diesel engine.Believe me,u drive a multijet,u hooked up to diesel,once a diesel always a diesel.An year back, back in home in india i bought a swift vdi,swore never to buy a petrol now.Right now i am in thailand and have rented a toyota hilux 3.0 litre D4-D 4×4.The engine is a gem,power delivery is smooth,tap the accelerator and bam,u have power but lacks the smoothness of the multijet,dont know why.The diesel clatter is a bit audible.But the sound of the turbo spooling is intoxicating,which is somewhat muted in the ddis.
