From 2009, the two companies in partnership will manufacture high performance, diesel particulate filters made of cordierite which will be marketed separately.
As a result of impending implementation of the Euro 5 emission standard for cars and light commercial vehicles sold in the European union, both companies predict that particulate filters will become standard equipment on all new diesel-powered cars in Europe.
Denso has been producing and supplying since DPFs to automakers since 20003, although a range is not currently available on the aftermarket.
Denso and Bosch plan to develop and market cordierite DPFs using the two companies’ combined expertise in diesel system technologies.
