Peugeot, Kia To Use Common Rail Diesel System.

Delphi Automotive Systems said that PSA Peugeot Citroen and Hyundai-Kia have selected Delphi to supply second-generation diesel common-rail systems. Production for the Kia KJ 2.9 diesel, used in the Carnival and Terran vehicles began in August. Development programs with PSA Peugeot Citroen are for 1.4 liter and 1.6 liter 16-valve engines due for production later this year and into 2002 respectively. During 2001, Delphi also started production of diesel common rail systems for the Renault Clio and the Ford Focus TDCi.

Delphi’s Multec DCR 1400 diesel direct injection system provides closed-loop control. Called Accelerometer Pilot Control (APC), the Delphi technology allows the engine management system to monitor the quality of the combustion. Information from the APC allows injection parameters to be adjusted as conditions change, ensuring that the system is always correctly calibrated.
