Engines with direct injection and turbocharging are the
key to lower consumption. Both systems are already standard
for diesel engines, and a growing number of gasoline
engines are also being fitted with them. Efficiency can be
improved still further by reducing displacement while
keeping performance constant – a process known as downsizing.
More and more engines, particularly in Europe, are
being downsized. We offer injection systems for each type
of engine – for gasoline engines we have second­generation
direct injection systems, and for diesel engines we have
systems that use solenoid and piezo valves and generate
injection pressures of over 2,000 bar. Bosch Mahle Turbo
Systems GmbH & Co. KG, a joint venture founded in 2008,
supplies turbochargers for both gasoline and diesel engines.
Series production will start in late 2011.
When equipped with exhaust­gas treatment systems, diesel
engines can satisfy the most stringent environmental
standards. We supply the Denoxtronic urea­metering system
for use in passenger cars and commercial vehicles. In
conjunction with an SCR catalytic converter, this system
helps lower nitrogen­oxide emissions considerably and
also offers additional potential for cutting consumption.
For use in commercial vehicles, we supply Departronic, a
system that injects diesel fuel into the exhaust­gas flow and
thus helps to regenerate the particulate filter.
