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.”
