  "term": "Downsizing",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "The practice of reducing an engine's displacement to improve fuel efficiency and lower emissions, while maintaining or increasing power output. This performance is achieved by incorporating technologies such as turbocharging, supercharging, and direct fuel injection to compensate for the smaller cylinder volume. A modern turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine can produce power comparable to an older naturally aspirated 2.5-liter engine while consuming less fuel.",
