Denso to produce eco-friendly fuel-injection system in China
Monday, 11 June 2007
TOKYO, June 10, (AFP): Japanese auto-parts maker Denso will produce eco-friendly fuel-injection equipment for diesel engines in China to meet growing demand for cleaner vehicles there, a report said Sunday.
Denso Corp. would set up a subsidiary in Changzhou, eastern Jiangsu province, and build a plant to produce the equipment, possibly in 2009, the leading Japanese business daily Nikkei said.
The company's investment in the plant was estimated at five billion yen (41 million dollars), the daily said.
The injection systems would be supplied chiefly for use in large and medium-sized engines for locally produced commercial vehicles. Initial annual output was expected to total 100,000 units, the report added.
Denso would initially ship key parts from Japan to the Changzhou plant, but gradually increase the ratio of locally procured parts.
The electronic equipment, called a "common rail system," is designed to inject finely calibrated amounts of fuel into the engine under high pressure.
