EICHING, Germany — DENSO Automotive Deutschland GmbH (DNDE), a subsidiary of Japan-based DENSO Corp, today announced plans to establish Aachen Engineering Center, a new engineering center for diesel engine components.
The center, located in Wegberg, Germany, will carry out application design work for diesel engine fuel injection systems. DNDE will invest approximately $17 million in the construction of Aachen Engineering Center.
This will be DENSO’s first overseas engineering center for diesel engine components.
According to Hiromi Tokuda, managing officer in charge of DENSO’s Powertrain Control System Group, diesel engines are used in up to 50 percent of passenger cars in Europe and the new facility will help the company meet this growing demand, he said. “This facility can help us meet that demand through application designs as well as performance evaluations. In the future, the facility will engineer powertrain components,” he said.
In 1994, DNDE established a testing facility for automotive air conditioning systems. The testing facility was expanded in October 2003 when a material evaluation component was added.
