Focus on engine management technologies

  • Highly engineered systems and components are designed to improve engine efficiency, reduce emissions and fuel consumption and reduce noise, vibration and harshness (“NVH”) in vehicles.
  • R&D efforts anticipate customer needs by developing new products and systems to improve engine performance
  • Product Development is dedicated to:
    • CO2 reduction (fuel consumption)
    • Emissions reduction (EURO V, EURO VI, CARB, etc.)
    • Performance increases (downsizing)

Timing Belt-in-Oil (TBIO)

  • Integrates the belt system inside the engine
    • Space constraints in smaller engines require more focus on packaging
  • Patented belt and tensioner system
    • Lower weight
    • Lower stretch and noise
    • Reduces friction losses
  • Up to 1.5% improvement in overall fuel economy
  • World’s first TBIO system for automotive applications
  • Primary and accessory drive (oil and water pump) applications

Double Damping Overriding System (DDOS)

  • Current engine trends cause increase in NVH levels
  • Innovative device reduces NVH from crankshaft and smooths accessory drive power transmission
  • Up to 1.5% improvement in overall fuel economy
