			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fiat is well-know for being on the forefront of developing diesel technologies but it still wants to conquer new grounds by adding fuel saving technology to petrol engines. Fiat will use the MultiAir system in the Mito Hatch from Alfa Romeo which is soon to debut in Europe.</p>
<p>MultiAir power plants is said to generate 10% more power and 15% more torque. Aside from these, car owners can also save about 10% more fuel and lower significantly their emissions.</p>
<p>The Mito 1.4L hatch will be the guinea pig for the MultiAir technology. This variant is will be released with engine options of 170hp, 135hp, or 105hp.</p>

<p>The MultiAir system relies on the breakthrough design of the electro-hydraulic valve which makes saving more fuel and decreasing emission possible. The combustion of the petrol engine and its ability to conserve fuel is dependent on the quality of the air charges in the cylinders. </p>
<p><span id="more-22"></span>In conventional engines, the air inside the cylinders is controlled by adjusting the pressure through the camshafts and throttle valve, and by the opening of the intake valve. One drawback of the MultiAir system is the 10% of energy wasted when it pumps the air to reach atmospheric <a href="http://rspconcepts.com/">exhaust</a> pressure.</p>
<p>The use of electro-hydraulic set up t control the valves compared to the electro-mechanical system is key to the <a href="http://fuel-efficiency-tips.com/">fuel efficiency</a> of the MultiAir engines. Stats also reflect only a small power drawn from the engine to achieve its purpose.</p>
