Alternative fuels

The steady increase in gasoline and diesel prices is helping to generate interest in alternative fuels, such as natural gas (CNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), ethanol, and - looking further into the future - hydrogen (H2).

We have studied this market in depth and identified an approach that allows economically viable flexibility with regard to future engine concepts. For example, for CNG / LPG applications we offer automotive manufacturers the choice between a fully integrated engine management system or an auxiliary control unit for the CNG / LPG-specific functionalities which allows retention of the standard port injection ECU. This strategy makes our systems a flexible solution for many engines from different manufacturers.
