The concepts and engines used for commercial vehicles are marked by continuous advancement and ever-growing requirements. The main forces and objectives driving these developments are CO2 limits, lower fuel consumption, reduced operating costs and modular engine families for different markets and applications.
Among other things, these objectives result in downsized engines, changes in oil quality and extended service intervals. These goals constantly pose new requirements on filtration, such as the need to deliver a high filtration rating at maximum dust pick-up capacity or enhanced differential pressure characteristics under high loads. Vital in the segment of fuel filters is the ability to deliver effective water separation that will safely protect complex injection systems. What is more, individual functions in the fluid flows can also be integrated into a multi-functional module and service center by arranging the installation space at the engine in an intelligent way. Paring down the number of interfaces and eliminating connecting lines are important steps to minimizing the installation space and reducing weight.
