The transaction involves the extension of an existing contract and the launch of a new engine project. Production of the electric coolant pumps will take place in Hartha in the German State of Saxony.
They will be used for the main coolant circuit of four-cylinder engines with two-litre cubic capacity in European and Chinese vehicle models. The pumps will be shipped to one of the customer’s plants in Europe as well as to several of its factories in China.
The variable-flow electric coolant pumps enable on-demand control of the coolant flow.
Depending on ambient temperature and engine load, this can result in fuel savings of up to 4%. Moreover, since they do not depend on the engine’s mechanical driveline, these pumps are also suitable for hybrid and electric vehicles.
