The centre, located in Wegberg, Germany, will carry out application design work for diesel engine fuel injection systems. DNDE will invest approximately €13 million in the construction.
This is Denso’s first overseas engineering centre for diesel engine components.
“In Europe, the percentage of diesel engines in passenger cars is as high as 50%, and a further increase in demand is expected,” said Hiromi
Tokuda, managing officer in charge of Denso’s powertrain control system group.
“This facility can help us meet that demand through application designs as well as performance evaluations. In the future, the facility will engineer powertrain components.”
In 1994, DNDE established a testing facility for automotive air conditioning systems. The testing facility was expanded in October 2003 when a material evaluation component was added.
Denso is committed to further expanding engineering facilities in Europe to quickly meet customer needs, Tokuda added.
