The Volvo Engine Architecture[2] is a family of straight-four automobile petrol and diesel engines produced by Volvo Cars in Skövde,[9] Sweden, since 2013.[10] All engines are marketed under the Drive–E[6][11] designation.[12]

History

Development of the new engine family began in 2006,[13] with the decision to only produce four cylinder engines being finalised in 2007.[13] The intention was to produce smaller,[14] more economical and enviromentally friendly[15] engines that would be fitted to every Volvo model. In 2008[5] Volvo began to upgrade its Skövde engine plant and invested roughly 2 billion SEK[16] into development and tooling for the VEA.[1] In autumn of 2013,[17] the first cars with the new engines were delivered to customers, starting with the S60 II and V60 models. At the same time Volvo began to phase out the five cylinder petrol and diesel engines[18] as well as the 6 cylinder petrol engines as well as any four cylinder engines from other manufacturers.[16] Until the end of 2015,[19] nearly all other engines had been phased out with only a few non VEA engines remaining in production for select models.[20] For 2016, Volvo plans to introduce engine variants with a smaller capacity and less power to serve as the base engine.[3]

Nomenclature

The engine codes consist of a series of letters and digits:

Petrol

2.0

All 2.0 L (1,969 cc) petrol engines have a bore of 82mm and a stroke of 93,2mm with a compression ratio of 10,3:1.[21] All engines are turbocharged and intercooled, the more powerful versions are turbocharged, supercharged and intercooled.

B4204T11

The B4204T11 delivers 245 PS (180 kW; 242 hp) at 5500rpm and 350 N·m (260 lb·ft) of torque between 1500–4800rpm.[22] The compression ratio was changed to 10,8:1.

Applications:

B4204T19

The B4204T19 delivers 190 PS (140 kW; 187 hp) at 4700rpm and 300 N·m (220 lb·ft) of torque between 1350–4000rpm.[22] The compression ratio was changed to 11,3:1.

Applications:

B4204T23

The B4204T23 delivers 254 PS (187 kW; 251 hp) at 5500rpm and 350 N·m (260 lb·ft) of torque between 1500–4800rpm.

Applications:

B4204T27

The B4204T27[25] delivers 320 PS (235 kW; 316 hp) at 5700rpm and 400 N·m (300 lb·ft) of torque between 2200–5400rpm.

Applications:

B4204T35

The B4204T35[25] delivers 320 PS (235 kW; 316 hp) at 5700rpm and 400 N·m (300 lb·ft) of torque between 2200–5400rpm. The rear electric motor delivers 87 PS (64 kW; 86 hp) and 240 N·m (180 lb·ft) of torque.

Applications:

Diesel

2.0

All 2.0 L (1,969 cc) diesel engines have a bore of 82mm and a stroke of 93,2mm with a compression ratio of 15,8:1.[21] All engines are of the commonrail design, have two turbochargers and are intercooled. A particle filter is standard.

D4204T5
