rdf:langString The Mitsubishi 4N1 engine is a family of all-alloy four-cylinder diesel engines developed by Mitsubishi Motors, produced at the company's powertrain facility in Kyoto, Japan for use in Mitsubishi's small to mid-sized global passenger cars. In June 2006, Mitsubishi Motors Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Renault announced a joint development project for a new generation of clean diesel engines to be used in cars exported to Europe with a target of beginning mass production in 2010 and later announced that the engines will be gradually phased into other global markets. The preliminary version of the 1.8 L (1,798 cc) engine was first seen in the Concept-cX test car introduced in 2007. The larger 2.3 L (2,268 cc) was first exhibited in the Concept-ZT test car introduced in the same year and later used in the Concept-RA test car introduced in 2008. With a clean diesel emission performance in mind, all engines are designed to comply with Tier 2 Bin 5 emission regulations in the United States, Euro 5 standard in Europe and Japan's Post New Long Term regulations. Together with Mitsubishi's electric vehicle technology the new diesel engines are positioned as a core element in the Mitsubishi Motors Environment Initiative Program 2010 (EIP 2010) announced in July 2006. The 4N1 engine family is the world's first to feature a variable valve timing (intake side) system applied to passenger car diesel engines. All engines developed within this family have aluminium cylinder block, double overhead camshaft layouts, 4 valves per cylinder, a common rail injection system with a variable-geometry turbocharger and MIVEC variable valve timing.
