Rheinmetall Automotive AG, through its subsidary Pierburg, has been awarded an order with a life-time volume worth over EUR 71 M. This order was placed by by a Chinese-American engine manufacturer.
The Beijing-based manufacturer has ordered electronically controlled back-pressure valves for truck engines of 12 and 13 liters displacement. These valves play a part in the chain of mechatronic emission-control components and specifically in applications designed to address today’s strict exhaust standards.
The valves will be going into production as from 2019. True to the principle of “local for local”, the production site is Pierburg GmbH’s Chinese plant in Kunshan specifically set up for supplying the Chinese market.
