Piezo Direct Injection
Taking fuel economy to new levels
Piezo technology in particular highlights our major contribution to the development of injection systems. We were the first company to put this technology into series production for diesel engines, and are now again up with the frontrunners using piezo injectors in gasoline engines.
By using Piezo direct injection, we facilitate stable lean combustion in stratified operation, thereby achieving the greatest possible fuel savings throughout an extended engine operating range. Compared with a conventional gasoline engine with port injection, this technology can reduce fuel consumption by up to 20%, depending on the type of vehicle and driving cycle.
