This nomenclature was introduced in 1978 under Perkins' new engine numbering scheme, where the family type is encoded in each unique serial number. Engines that went out of production prior to 1978 may have been retroactively assigned a family type to expedite parts support (this is the case with the Perkins 4.107).
Some engines don’t share the same displacement as with the one found in the engine code. For example, the displacement of the V35A-FTS is closer to 3.4 L despite being marketed as a 3.5 L engine. Moreover, there are a few engines that use the naming scheme of the Dynamic Force family of engines but are not actually part of them, such as the ...
Hyundai Motor Company has produced the following families of automobile engines. Gasoline engines use a naming system based on Greek letters. Spark Ignition (Gasoline) Straight-3. Epsilon ε - 0.8 L; Kappa κ - 1.0 L; Straight-4. Epsilon ε - 1.0/1.1 L; Kappa κ - 1.2/1.25/1.4/1.6 L; Alpha α - 1.3/1.4/1.5/1.6 L; Gamma γ - 1.4/1.6 L; Sirius ...
In the 1950s, Ford introduced a three-tier approach to engines, with small, mid-sized, and larger engines aimed at different markets. All of Ford's mainstream V8 engines were replaced by the overhead cam Modular family in the 1990s and the company introduced a new large architecture, the Boss family, for 2010.
The number in the engine code gives the approximate displacement of the engine. e.g. B18A would have an approximate displacement of 1.8L, H22A1 would have an approximate displacement of 2.2L. Some engines below were available in more than one market. A-series. 84–87 A18A1 Prelude (America) 85–89 A20 Accord carbureted (Europe, America)
The next example is the Nissan VQ35DE engine. It belongs to the VQ engine family and displaces 35 deciliters (3.5 liters). The feature letters describe an engine with dual overhead camshafts and electronic port fuel injection, but leaves off any power adder descriptors because it is a naturally aspirated engine.
The Volvo Engine Diesel 4 is a four-cylinder engine with 2.0L displacement. It is used by Volvo in certain markets and is the final family of Volvo Cars diesel engines after they announced in 2017 that they would no longer develop diesel engines. [3]
H engines summarize two families of gasoline engines, the smaller with a max. cylinder bore of 72.2 mm and a larger family with typically 78 mm bore: The smaller family covers 0.9 - 1.33 litres of swept volume and was co-developed by Renault, Mercedes-Benz and Nissan.
