The relative contribution of two wheelers to local atmosphere pollution is increasing more and more due to ultra low emissions regulation applied to other vehicle as cars. In 1999, the first European emissions regulations for 50cc mopeds and scooters appeared (Euro I) and will also become more and more severe by the time. Euro II (2002) level will correspond to the next step. IFP has developed a simplified Direct Injection technology, named SCIP™, derived from the well known IAPAC® technology without the need of additional camshaft. This technology has been integrated with the MC500 Engine Management System developed by SAGEM for the growing 2-wheelers application. The final simple and cheap product is therefore well adapted to small displacement 2-stroke engines as 50cc engine for 2-wheelers application. This paper presents the development of a 50 cc scooter engine using SCIP™ technology and the calibration of the MC500 System to achieve Euro II regulation.
