ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Enerpulse Technologies has announced an agreement with MAE Corp. to assist the company in securing business with automakers and Tier 1 automotive suppliers in Japan. MAE Corp. is represented by President Toshi Goto, who will serve as a business development partner and introduce Enerpulse Technologies’ Nano-Plasma Assisted Combustion (n-PAC) technology to senior Japanese automotive executives.
Enerpulse provides products to the automotive OEM market, along with the automotive/powersports aftermarket under the brand name Pulstar and for natural gas fueled SI engines (NG, CNG, LNG, LPG and Bio-Gas) for stationary and vehicular applications. The company has sold more than 1 million Pulstar Pulse Plugs into the automotive and power sports aftermarket.
“We are pleased to forge this business development partnership with Mr. Goto and his team of highly capable associates,” said Joseph Gonnella, CEO of Enerpulse Technologies. “Since its start in 2004, MAE Corp. has a strong track record of building direct business relationships with Japanese industrial companies and helping U.S. firms navigate their complex technology adoption processes. We are confident Mr. Goto’s valuable assistance will represent a key milestone in executing our commercial strategy in Japan.”
According to Goto, “Japanese automakers need outside technology to meet strengthening global fuel economy and emissions regulations. MAE Corp. has the confidence of many high-level executives in the Japanese auto sector and only accepts clients with sound technology to offer.”
In cooperation with MAE Corp., Enerpulse Founder and Chief Technology Officer Lou Camilli will travel to Japan in the fourth quarter of 2014 to meet with Japanese automotive executives. Camilli will explain how Enerpulse’s nano-Plasma Assisted Combustion (n-PAC) improves fuel economy, reduces tailpipe emissions and increases vehicle performance an innovation that Camilli states is unattainable by conventional spark plugs.
