Abstract
This Intelligence Set includes the 2006 edition of our fuel injection systems
report, along with profiles of Bosch, Delphi, Denso, and Siemens VDO. 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 have come a long way since last century when Rudolf
Diesel first had the idea of integrating the injection nozzle and injection
pump into a single unit. In an effort to increase diesel fuel efficiency and
lower emissions to meet increasingly stringent standards in markets worldwide,
engine developers now concentrate on the unit injection system.
In Europe, the drive to lower CO2 emissions favours diesel engines. Indeed,
the popularity of diesel-powered cars has led to a significant shift in the
European car parc. The improvement in diesel engine design has significantly
reduced exhaust emissions while enhancing vehicle performance capabilities. In
North America use of diesel engines may increase, but the outlook is less than
certain, as American drivers see diesels as noisy, smelly and dirty engines,
and as diesel and gasoline cost the same in the US, so the roadside billboard
prices do little to provoke change.
