Denso To Begin Making 2,000 Bar Diesel Injection Systems In Europe In '08
28 September 2007
Nikkei. Denso Corporation plans to start manufacturing 2,000 bar common rail fuel injection systems for diesel engines in Europe in 2008, ahead of the implementation of Euro 5 standards in 2009.
Rival Robert Bosch GmbH plans to start making the [2,000 bar] injection systems before the end of this year. Bosch and Denso rank first and second in the field of diesel injection systems and control the global market.
Denso will manufacture the new system at its Hungary plant before it begins producing them in Japan. An upgrade to the Hungarian plant will increase output capacity to 1 million units a year. Denso projects initial production to be 50,000 units in 2008. The firm will initially supply Toyota for use in a new 2-liter diesel engine for the European market.

Toyota has new diesel engines coming to the European market, so this makes sense. Now we know Toyota's new diesels will be using 2000-bar injectors.

Honda's new i-DTEC engine uses a 2,000-bar common-rail pressurized direct injection system, so Denso will likely make them for Honda, especially once i-DTEC engine start showing up on 2009 model Hondas in the USA starting circa fall 2008.
