GM introduces diesels for Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana
General Motors (GM) announced the availability of the Duramax 6600
turbodiesel engine in the 2006 models of its full-size vans Chevrolet
Express and GMC Savana G2500 and G3500 series.
The 6.6 liter V-8 Duramax turbodiesel delivers 186 kW/250 hp and 624
Nm/460 lb-ft of torque. It features a strengthened iron cylinder
block and a variable geometry turbocharger. The compression ratio has
been lowered from 17.5:1 to 16.8:1, to help control noise and NOx
emissions.
The combined EPA fuel economy of the diesel Express/Savana is 20.2
mpg (11.6 l/100 km), representing a 35% improvement over the 5.3
liter gasoline engine.
