Pistons made from Federal-Mogul Powertrain’s new aluminium alloy called DuraForm-G91 have a more compact cylinder block design, resulting in lowered CO2 emissions.
Federal-Mogul Powertrain announced today at the Auto Expo 2016 in New Delhi (Hall No. 12A, Stall 13) that the company’s original equipment (OE) engine technologies for Euro 6 emission standards are also available for India’s vehicle and engine manufacturers, who are tasked with meeting BS VI emissions requirements by 2020.
The company says it is already producing these components in large quantities for Euro 6 engines in Europe and for engines with comparable emissions standards in North America. The company has created manufacturing capacity in India to produce some of its Euro 6 components there. Federal-Mogul Powertrain’s Euro 6 expertise covers engine components for both passenger cars as well heavy-duty vehicles.
