TI Automotive has been named the fuel systems supplier for up to 3m Volkswagen Group vehicles, beginning in 2011. The contract also includes the development and production of 6m fuel filler pipes.

The fuel tank systems will be produced at TI factories in Ettlingen and Rastatt, Germany, and Pamplona, Spain, and installed on five different Audi, Volkswagen, Seat and Skoda vehicles.

System variants will include partial zero emissions vehicle (PZEV) variants for the US and Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) versions for both petrol and diesel applications.

Fuel filler pipes will be manufactured at a new TI Automotive facility in the Czech Republic and shipped to different final assembly locations.

TI Automotive, which has 14,000 employees at 126 locations in 27 countries, currently supplies fuel tank systems for VW’s Passat in Asia, and the Audi Q5 and VW Caddy in Europe. During the next year, it will begin production on two new contracts for the new sedan to be built at VW’s new plant in Tennessee and the Audi Q3 in Spain.
