"common rail" Explanation: It looks as though the English term is in common usage in French. Both the Citroen and Renault websites use it to describe their latest diesel engines. Citroen have it in quotes, Renault without. See references below. Reference: http://www.citroen.com/fr/actu/technologie/hdi.html Reference: http://www.renault.com/fr/produits/laguna2.htm |
