Fierce competition for 2012 Engine of the Year awards

Thirty-nine all-new powerplants and an astonishing 46 ‘green’ contenders in the running for 2012 International Engine of the Year awards

Arguably the most diverse field to date is in contention for the prestigious 2012 Engine of the Year honours, with a raft of new high-po powerplants taking the fight to the latest breed of fuel-sipping lean-combustion units.

There’s also the possibility a diesel or electric powerplant could claim the overall honours for the first time in the awards’ 14-year history.

The competition is judged by a panel of motoring journalists from around the world and is organised by the UK’s largest technical motoring, aerospace and traffic management publication company -- UKIP Media & Events Automotive Magazines.

Since the competition's inception in 1999, BMW has been the most dominant manufacturer, bagging the overall title on no less than six occasions (see honour roll below). Toyota and Volkswagen have two gongs each to their credit, while last year’s winner was Fiat’s punchy 875cc TwinAir engine.

Among the notable new contenders for this year are McLaren’s compact yet potent 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 that propels the MP4-12C, and it faces stiff competition for the torque-laden 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 as used by the new M5 and M6.

At the other end of the spectrum are the all-electric engines that power the Nissan LEAF and Renault Fluence, along with the efficient 1.0-litre three-cylinder EcoBoost engine used by the latest Fiesta and Mazda’s 2.2-litre ‘SKYACTIVE-D’ diesel unit.

Dean Slavnich, editor of Engine Technology International and co-chairman of the International Engine of the Year Awards, was quoted as saying: “As ever, the judging panel has assessed every new engine to the market in the past 12 months, and we firmly believe that this year’s judging has been the toughest ever.

The 14th International Engine of the Year Award will be announced at a ceremony at Engine Expo 2012 in Stuttgart, Germany on June 13, with a total of 12 awards being handed out to manufacturers who have been judged to have achieved excellence in powertrain engineering.

German brands more secure

Thieves deterred by the products of German marques — or Jaguar — but not Aussie-built cars games

The National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council (NMVTRC) has named the cars least susceptible to theft in this country.

Winners for 2012 were jointly announced by the NMVTRC chairman, David Morgan and the NSW Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Michael Gallacher.

“Experience has shown that the level of secure design applied in the manufacturing process is the single most important factor in determining the theft rate of a particular model,” said Morgan.

Engineering experts evaluated over 70 current models at NRMA Insurance's research centre in Sydney to arrive at the list of winners. Judging criteria for the six categories was based on each car's respective performance against its peers. Every entrant was assessed on the ease of identification and the security of its entry systems and the engine immobiliser. Entry systems comprise door, ignition locks, alarms, rear seat/boot access and glazing, while vehicle identification includes body stamping, security labeling and microdotting.

Across the categories, the one non-German brand that trumped its rivals was Jaguar, with the XF (XFR pictured) winning the large-car category. Another prestige brand, BMW, won the Coupe/Convertible category with two models that tied for first place: the 1 Series and the 3 Series.

In the medium car category, Audi's A4 shared the honours with the Volkswagen Passat. The one brand to win in multiple categories, Volkswagen counted Polo (small cars), Golf (small/medium) and Tiguan (SUV) — as well as the Passat, of course.

“While there are some luxury vehicles amongst the winners, the inclusion of the many affordable cars, with the Polo starting at around $20,000 clearly demonstrates that good security is within reach of everyday motorists and that other manufacturers should be aspiring to matching these levels of design,” said Morgan.

The NMVTRC chairman had a salvo to serve local manufacturers and importers of people movers and commercial vehicles. In the case of the people mover and commercial vehicle categories, the Council was unprepared to award a winner, since none of the respective candidate vehicles came close to the level of security offered by winners in the other categories.

As for the locals, Morgan said that the three companies concerned needed to “lift their game in relation to vehicle identification technology. Improved vehicle identification is essential to combating profit-motivated thieves who launder stolen vehicles by manipulating the vehicle's identifiers, or break the vehicle down to separated parts for sale on the black market.”
