Delphi claims its new DA Piezo injector is a major breakthrough in diesel engine tech
The US-based automotive components manufacturer, Delphi has announced that the company’s new Direct Acting Piezo injector will first be used on the Mercedes-Benz C250 CDI.
Delphi claims that its DA Piezo injector represents a radical break-through in common-rail diesel engine technology, as the injector needle is directly activated by the Piezo stack (instead of being moved via an electro-hydraulic circuit, as with existing fuel injection technologies), removing the lag and energy consumption associated with the use of electro-hydraulic circuits.
The company claims this new technology, which makes for more accurate and consistent fuel delivery, will allow carmakers to comply with new emission legislations, while also providing more power and better fuel economy.
‘Delphi has surpassed a major milestone in diesel technology history and there is no better way to write this new chapter than to be partnered with Mercedes-Benz, the company with the industry's longest history in diesel engines,’ says Jose Avila, general manager, Delphi Diesel Systems.

Just a shame the new injectors appear to be failing and causing grief to many MB owners and worry to owners who are now driving cars that could break down any moment!
