KARIYA, Japan ― Global automotive supplier DENSO announced that it has developed a new diesel common rail (DCR) fuel injection system with the world’s highest* injection pressure of 2,500 bar.
Based on DENSO’s research, the new system can help increase fuel efficiency by up to 3 percent while also reducing particulate matter (PM) by up to 50 percent and nitrogen oxides (NOx) by up to 8 percent. This is compared to DENSO’s previous generation system. The new DCR system will launch-to-market later this year on passenger, commercial, agricultural and construction vehicles worldwide.
"Our new diesel common rail system will help increase fuel efficiency and meet exhaust emissions standards that are becoming increasingly stringent around the world, particularly in Europe, Japan and the United States," said Yukihiro Shinohara, executive director responsible for DENSO’s Diesel Engine Business Unit.
DENSO also is working to develop and commercialize a 3,000 bar diesel common rail system. The company will continue to develop products and technologies that help improve the performance of diesel-powered vehicles to reduce its impact on the environment.
