i-CTDi, an abbreviation for Common Rail Turbo Diesel Injection, is the common rail technology used in Honda's N22A engine, produced and sold in the Europe market between 2002-2008. It is the general name of direct injection turbodiesel diesel engines. The acronym was changed to i-DTEC in 2008, for the revised N22B engine.

[edit]The Honda N22A engine is Honda's first in-house developed diesel engine.[2] The project to develop this engine had been underway since 1995 under lead engineer Kenichi Nagahiro and the first engines were released in 2003.[3][4] Nagahiro's dissatisfaction with the clumsiness of older diesel engines was an inspiration to make something better.[5] This "Hate something, change something" message became the theme of Honda's 2004 advertising campaign 'Grrr'.[6] In 2005 the N22A was awarded the title of 'International Engine of the Year' for 2.0-2.5 l engines.
