Fiat's TwinAir engine is an inline-two engine designed by Fiat Powertrain Technologies as part of its Small Gasoline Engine (SGE) family — employing Fiat’s Multiair hydraulically-actuated variable valve timing (VVT) technology.
Offered in a variety of FCA vehicles in turbocharged and naturally aspirated variants, the engine is noted for its reduced size, weight, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
In the 2011 International Engine of the Year awards, the 875cc TwinAir won Best Engine Under 1 Liter, Best New Engine, Best Green Engine and International Engine of the Year. [1]
Development and launch
Fiat's Twinair debuted at Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung 2007 in the Fiat Panda Aria concept car.[2] as an 80 PS, turbocharged, CNG-hydrogen mix and gasoline bifuel unit.
The production TwinAir engine was launched at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show in 85 PS, turbocharged gasoline form and became available later in 2010 in the Fiat 500.[3]
