Honda Motor Europe Ltd. announced on February 23, 2003 that Honda's first diesel engine to be fully developed and built in-house is to make its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show. The new 2.2 litre i-CTDi power unit joins Honda's intelligently-controlled i-series family of engines that already includes the i-VTEC and i-DSI range of petrol engines. It will be used to power, among others, the Honda Accord and, at a later date, the Honda CR-V.
