K B series engine

Developing a fuel efficient, high performance, low emission, light weight engine, with lower Noise, Vibration and Harshness

The new KB series engine is a result of enormous R&D efforts and hours of design, validation and testing.
The engine realises the true spirit of the global design trend of optimizing engine performance through innovative design techniques.

Some of the salient features of the All new KB engine are:

All Aluminum Low weight engine for Best in class fuel efficiency
Innovative rocker-less DOHC Cam shaft, Plastic Intake Manifold & Offset crank shaft with low tension rings to reduce losses & improve fuel efficiency
Smart Distributor Less Ignition (SDLI) system with dedicated plug top coils, High pressure semi-return fuel system and Advanced injectors for superior atomization provide uniform and optimized combustion for better performance
Optimised Cylinder block, Light Piston and Nut-less Con Rod for light weight configuration
Improved engine stiffness and use of advanced technology like silent timing chain to improve NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness) characteristics
These and many more innovative technologies used in the new light-weight KB series engines helped to achieve best in class fuel efficiency, emission & performance with reduced Noise, Vibration and Harshness for customer delight.The KB series engine will be mounted on the forthcoming model, A Star, from Maruti Suzuki.The KB-series engine, while fully complying with the prevalent BS III norms, is ready to meet the future emission norms in the country. The Engine meets the Euro V norms for the export model of A Star.
