Conti Auto Thai

completed

The Project (“Continental Automotive Thailand Ltd”) is a green field manufacturing facility in Thailand, with a production capacity of 500,000 high pressure pumps and 2,500,000 injectors per year. These pumps and injectors are used in Continental’s high-precision Piezo common rail systems, which in turn are used in its diesel-based Powertrain engine systems. Continental sells the complete system, which consists of the Piezo injector, the pump, the fuel rail, and the engine control unit, to Original Equipment Manufacturers. Diesel engines consume about 30% less fuel than gasoline engines do. Further, Piezo technology produces fuel savings of up to 5% relative to other diesel engines, reduces particulate and nitrogen emissions and makes engines quieter without any loss of performance. These components fulfill EURO 6 emission standards which will apply in Europe from 2014 onwards. The Project aims at supplying injectors for passenger with diesel engines. The Project is an important step taken by the Sponsor to expand its manufacturing base in Asia in order to support the growth of its clients’ fuel efficient vehicle sales in the region.
