I. Introduction
For many years, innovative engine technology has been a development priority of Mitsubishi Motors. In particular, Mitsubishi has sought to improve engine efficiency in an endeavor to meet growing environmental demands, such as those for energy conservation and the reduction of CO2 emission to limit the negative impact of the green-house effect.

In Mitsubishis endeavor to design and build ever more efficient engines, it has devoted significant resources to developing a gasoline direct injection engine. For years, automotive engineers have believed this type of engine has the greatest potential to optimize fuel supply and combustion, which in turn can deliver better performance and lower fuel consumption. Until now, however, no one has successfully designed an in-cylinder direct injection engine for use on production vehicles. A result of Mitsubishis engine development capabilities, Mitsubishis advanced Gasoline Direct Injection GDI engine is the realization of engineering dream.
