The PSA Group sells a variety of diesel automobile engines with the HDi (high-pressure direct injection) designation.
In 1998, PSA entered into a joint venture with the Ford Motor Company to produce a range of new diesel engines.
The 1.6 L (1,560 cc) Diesel is part of the DV/DLD family and is, depending application, called the DV6 (PSA), W16 (MINI), DLD-416 (Ford), 3WZ (Toyota).
The 110 PS version of this engine can be ordered in an unprecedented variety of car models, representing either side of the motoring spectrum, ranging from the MINI Cooper D to the Volvo S80 1.6D DRIVe.
It was soon spread across the PSA range, such as the LCVs, while a 16-valve version, with 109 PS (80 kW), was used in the large MPVs built in association with Fiat.
