As well as developing alternative drives, the automotive industry is relying on further improving and increasing the efficiency of traditional combustion engines. This concerns firstly fuel injection for diesel engines, but also the efficiency of the overall unit.

The proportion of vehicles with diesel engines in Germany is just 50%, with a similar percentage applying for Europe. The main argument in favor of diesel engineering is common knowledge â the fuel consumption is lower compared to petrol engines. To further reduce consumption and thus also emission output, it is essential to have high-precision pressure measurement.
