And just for quote all the above technologies & concepts are same.

Since its owned by different companies they call it differently

 

[vijay]

yeah, after hyundai brought common rail technology to indian market, every other players started offering this engine with detuning differently and naming this common rail engine in their own way.TATA,Mahindra,hyundai, toyota all use same technology with different names of engines.

 

[sriharsha]

what does TCDi mean? is it turbo charged diesel engine? what's the difference between TCDi and TDi?

 

[raj_5004]

i think it is turbocharged direct injection- the turbocharged DI engine.

i think TCDi & TDi are same, GM uses TCDi & skoda/volkswagen uses TDi.

 

[sriharsha]

@ raj
thanks. yes. i had seen TCDi in friends magnum. and TDi in a indigo CS.

 

[raj_5004]

no mention buddy.

yes, even tata uses TDi. now i wonder how there are no conflicts between tata & skoda based on copyright issues as both use the same terminology- TDi!
