Pierburg, a subsidiary of the KSPG Group, also a member of the Rheinmetall Group, has recently been awarded by a Chinese OEM has awarded which, in turn, an order with a lifetime value of around EUR 85M for control valves, actuators for intake manifolds, and electric switchover valves.
control valves produce a pressure drop in the engine for recirculation of the exhaust gases and on compression ignition diesel engines ensure efficient and effective engine switch-off. The actuators on the intake manifold adjust the tumble valves in the manifold for improved air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. The electric switchover valves are needed for regulating the EGR cooler bypass while also ensuring reduced
NOx emissions.
A part of the valves will sourced locally from Pierburg’s Chinese plant in Kunshan starting from 2018, another from the German plant in Berlin. The components ordered represent state-of-the-art exhaust-gas engineering and also serve to ensure compliance with strict Chinese emission standards comparable to the Euro 5 and Euro 6 regulations.
