Skoda, a member of the Volkswagen group, revealed the Fabia Estate Combi GreenlineII and the RoomsterII. The vehicles feature the company’s new three-cylinder, 1.2-liter diesel engine. They also carry a stop-start and engine-recuperation system. Both the Fabia Greenline II and RoomsterII vehicles are second-generation Skoda releases. These vehicles are specifically designed to be more environmentally-friendly.

The new Fabia and Roomster models were redesigned to fit the new technology which will reduce the vehicles’ CO2-emission levels and fuel consumption. The most notable improvement is probably the 1.2 TDI CR DPF diesel engine which is equipped with a start-stop, Common Rail technology. This also has an energy recuperation and gear recommendation system on the vehicles’ Maxi DOT display.

The Fabia Estate GreenlineII, which is equipped with a 3-cylinder diesel engine can consume a mere 3.4 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Its CO2 emission is an impressive 89g/km. On the other hand, the Roomster GreenlineII consumes 4.1 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Its CO2 emission is just slightly higher, with 109g/km.

The new engine for the second-generation Greenline vehicles complies with the Euro5 standards. The vehicles will be available in a five-speed transmission which is identical to the ordinary Fabia and Roomster models. Skoda also boasts that the GreenlineII offers lower consumption without sacrificing the vehicle’s responsiveness.

Aside from the engine and the start-stop technology, Skoda’s gear recommendation system also allows writers to optimize the engine’s potential and keep the fuel economy solid. The lowered and aero-covered chassis of the vehicles, paired with their low-rolling tires, also contribute to the minimized fuel consumption.
