It is a modern engine with an SOHC 16-valve head, electronic throttle control, and meets Euro III emissions requirements. Overhead camshaft, commonly abbreviated to OHC, Valvetrain configurations place the engine Camshaft within the Cylinder heads above the Electronic throttle control (ETC is an Automobile technology which severs the mechanical link between the accelerator pedal and the Throttle. European emission standards define the acceptable limits for exhaust emissions of new vehicles sold in EU member states There are three current versions of the engine, 1. 4 L, 1. 6 L, and supercharged 1.

BMW have replaced this engine in the MINI with the new Prince engine family developed in partnership with PSA Peugeot Citroën, since Chrysler was a part of their arch-rival DaimlerChrysler. Prince is the codename for a family of modern Automobile Straight-4 engines developed jointly by BMW and PSA Peugeot Citroën.

In February of 2006, the Chinese auto company Lifan bid to purchase the factory after 2007, when the current Tritec engine is no longer needed by BMW and Chrysler. China ( Wade-Giles ( Mandarin) Chung¹kuo² is a cultural region, an ancient Civilization, and depending on perspective a National Lifan ( is the largest individually-owned Chinese Motorcycle and Automobile manufacturer in Chongqing, a provincial-level municipality of the Lifan's plan calls for moving factory tooling to China where it would produce a derivative of the Tritec engine by 2008. These engines would then be used by Lifan to begin an automobile export business to Europe and North America.

In March 2008 Fiat Powertrain Technologies announced it will buy the plant and licenses to produce Tritec engines. This investment is around 83 million euros. [1]
