GM Medium Diesel engine

Automotive Engines

The GM Medium Diesel Engine, abbreviated MDE, is a four-cylinder diesel engine developed by General Motors and sold as the 1.6 CDTI Ecotec in most markets. Production began in late 2013 at Szentgotthárd in Hungary, and it was Opel's first all-aluminum diesel engine. It replaced the earlier 1.7 litre diesel and the lower-powered 2.0 litre diesels in Opel cars, and its most powerful version first appeared in the 2013 Opel Zafira Tourer before reaching the Astra J and the Meriva B. It uses a chain-driven dual overhead camshaft with four valves per cylinder, an aluminum block, bedplate and head, and many measures to reduce noise, and Opel added its BlueInjection urea exhaust treatment to meet Euro 6. General Motors also fitted it to the 2017 Chevrolet Cruze and the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain sold in the United States.
