The European petrol passenger car parc alone is now in excess of 150 million vehicles and this number is forecast to grow further in the coming years. This trend is echoed in all major markets across the globe.

Advancements in petrol technology are ensuring that engines are more efficient and can perform for longer at higher levels. The GDI (Gasoline Direct injection) engine is proof of this, and will reduce exhaust emissions, increase engine power and performance, and improve fuel economy. These advancements mean that petrol cars are working to finely-tuned performance levels, and the injectors within them will need servicing regularly to maintain this.

The tightening of emissions standards also means that the petrol engine needs to perform to ever-increasing specifications – Euro 5 standard for passenger cars will be introduced in September 2009. Injectors need to be tested and serviced at regular intervals to ensure that vehicles continue to meet these stringent emissions standards.

The key to the petrol car is the injectors. Regular testing and servicing of the injectors will ensure that the vehicle continues to perform to high levels, and will maintain economy and emissions-compliance.

Delphi is pleased to announce that we have teamed up with ASNU to offer a comprehensive test and service platform for modern petrol injectors.

Many of the opportunities and issues on petrol injectors mirror those on the diesel fuel injection system. Therefore Delphi’s experience and understanding on test and service requirements combined with ASNU’s knowledge and expertise on petrol injection gives the Delphi/ASNU partnership an unrivalled position in the market.
