TDI
Volkswagen engine type
TDI stands for turbocharged direct injection, a diesel engine technology where fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber rather than a prechamber.
Volkswagen popularized the abbreviation for its efficient diesel engines: My TDI gets 50 miles per gallon on the highway.
TDI also abbreviates toluene diisocyanate, a chemical used in polyurethane manufacturing.
