Volkswagen has once again won the International ‘Engine of the Year Award’ for its 1.4 TSI engine in the 1.0 to 1.4 litres category. Thanks to the twincharger principle of an exhaust turbocharger and a supercharger, the 1.4 TSI is seen to have especially high pulling power and efficiency. Dr. Hermann Middendorf from Volkswagen Petrol Engine Development accepted the prize at a ceremony in Stuttgart.

“TSI at Volkswagen stands for the route to sustainable mobility of the future. Compared to other motors, the TSI engines show an appreciably better record over their full lifecycle in terms of fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions,” explained Middendorf in his acceptance speech in Stuttgart.
The judges will also have been impressed by the fact that the 1.4 TSI engine achieves excellent results not only when running on petrol, but also as the base engine for the gas-powered Eco-Fuel models. A total of 65 motoring journalists from 32 different countries assessed the engines in the test on drivability, noise levels, smooth running and fuel economy.
