Development of the diesel engine series i-CTDi by Honda

Since the beginning of 2003, Honda is using its first own-developed diesel engine i-CTDi in the Accord. To respond to the strong market demand and the resolve of producing environmentally friendly cars, Honda will offer the well-established engine with a particulate filter as well. Models of the SUV-Segment already fulfil the Euro 4 standard even without a particulate filter, despite their bigger mass and their higher driving resistance.
