Engine manufacturers across the globe are looking to couple efficiency with performance in order to meet ever-increasing emission standards while improving reliability. At the recently concluded Association of Diesel Specialists (ADS) International Convention in San Antonio, Dr. John Pinson, president and chief technology officer of Stanadyne, explained how the Connecticut-based fuel injection systems design and manufacturing company is addressing the ever-evolving issue.

Dr. Pinson delineated short-term and long-term strategies for introducing Stanadyne’s products to a worldwide market. In his remarks, he stated the following:

• “Stanadyne is focused on continuing to develop gasoline direct injection and diesel common rail systems domestically and worldwide as broader adoption of these technologies continues to grow.”
• “Our new diesel common rail pumps are currently being produced for global markets at 60,000 units annually and these volumes are expected to grow over the next 18 months.”
• “Efficiency, fuel economy and reliability do not have to come at the expense of performance.”
• “Off-highway applications for construction, agriculture and power generation remain an important piece of our product portfolio going forward.”
