One of the orders is for variable oil pumps, the other for cSUV divert-air valves. The components are destined for the automaker's conventional four- and eight-cylinder engines.
Production of the electrical divert-air valves starts right away, as this order extends the life of an existing contract. Electrical divert-air valves assure optimum performance of turbocharged engines by briefly opening a bypass at the compressor during propulsion operation. This keeps the turboloader at a constant speed and prevents so-called 'pumping'. Moreover, it results in a sustained improvement of noise characteristics and longevity. The first of its kind on the market back in 2004,
The oil pumps ordered are fully variable vane-type engine oil pumps. Depending on the temperature, rpm and load status of the engine, the demand-driven output rate of the variable oil pumps can be flexibly adjusted to match the necessary oil volume flow. This way, the oil is delivered to the engine's lubricating points, helping to conserve fuel and reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. The high-quality design and layout of the oil pump contributes materially to a long and efficient engine life. Production of the pumps is due to commence in 2026.
These components will be installed into what will probably be the automaker's last generation of passenger car diesel engines.
