FARMINGTON HILLS, MI – The Robert Bosch Corporation has launched a new line of advanced gasoline fuel injectors for current and older domestic and import vehicles. The modern, second generation injectors, in widespread OE use since 1992, cover millions of current vehicles operating in the United States, and can be installed in millions of older vehicles originally equipped with older-technology fuel injectors.

"The second generation Bosch fuel injector is strong, durable and quiet. It is ‘over molded’ to form a one-piece injector with no internal seals or seams to leak. With fewer parts, the injector is lighter, more compact, and easier to install. This injector provides a greater fuel dynamic flow range and refined spray pattern for improved fuel atomization and mixture combustion. Plus, the molded plastic shell eliminates exposed metal parts, preventing corrosion," said Warren Suter, Director of Product Management, Engine Management Products, for Bosch.

Installed in millions of vehicles worldwide since 1992, this efficient, long-lasting fuel injector has a minimal failure rate. Bosch produced its billionth fuel injector two years ago.

The EV6 injectors can be installed in domestic and imported vehicles currently equipped with them, and interchanged with older-technology OE injectors in selected older vehicles. With their superior fuel flow and spray pattern, the EV6 should improve vehicle fuel and operating efficiency when replacing older-type injectors.
