Abstract
This Intelligence Set includes the latest edition of the fuel injection
systems report, along with profiles of Bosch, Continental, Delphi and Denso.
It offers excellent value for money and will allow you to discover where the
market is heading, what the latest innovations are, and how your competitors
are performing.
Fuel-injection systems squirt atomised fuel into the cylinders of an internal
combustion engine. They use a series of single- or multi-hole nozzle injectors
to spray fuel into the combustion chamber. Direct-injection systems have been
heralded as the panacea for fuel economy and emissions. Despite a rocky start,
gasoline direct-injection (GDI) technology is starting to become popular given
its potential 20% improvement in fuel economy and emissions, compared to
conventional gasoline engines. Meanwhile, direct-injection and common-rail
technology, which injects fuel directly into the combustion chamber at
ultra-high pressure with electronic control, have boosted diesel' s
performance. Common-rail technology has transformed the diesel engine' s noisy
and dirty image.
In India and China, Bosch expects to see growth in common-rail systems. At
present, just one-fifth of the company' s total production of high-pressure
injection systems is for the markets in Asia and the Americas, but by 2015
this figure will be nearly 50%. The driving force behind this development is
emission standards that can only be fulfilled with high-pressure injection
systems.
Continental: “We think that, in the future, we will see more
engines in the US with a combination of turbocharging and direct injection to
implement the downsizing technology.”
Delphi: “GDi will be its own success story in combination with
turbocharging and similar technologies that diesel engines undertook.
Combining fun-to-drive with excellent fuel economy is the path for the future.
I look for all other gasoline technologies to be add-ons to this basic
configuration.”
In this, the fifth edition of this report, just-auto reviews the key market
drivers for fuel-injection systems, and updates the market analysis.
