Technology strategies for the future

During the past 10 years, we've seen significant progress in the evolution of the diesel engine-namely in the areas of fuel economy and reduced CO₂-to drive down fleet operating costs and meet stringent emissions legislation. To achieve these targets, manufacturers are developing powertrain strategies that require higher output from smaller-displacement engines, increasing thermal and mechanical loads.

Significant emphasis is now being placed on strategies to increase in-cylinder combustion efficiency, thereby reducing total fuel consumption while utilizing current aftertreatment solutions to address resulting particulate and NOx emissions. These strategies drive higher temperatures and pressures, and further intensify the need for development of improved base engine components. At Federal-Mogul, we work closely with our customers to develop innovative solutions to meet higher durability and performance requirements, with fuel economy and value for cost as the drivers for success.
