TROY, Mich., April 9, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- In addition to innovative
automotive projects MBtech also presents a turbo diesel as a light aircraft
engine concept.
"A climate for change" is the motto of the SAE 2008 World Congress
taking place from April 14th to 17th at the Cobo Center in Detroit, MI,
USA. The event serves as a forum for international decision-makers from the
passenger vehicle, commercial vehicle and aeronautical industry in order to
work together to find answers to current and future challenges concerning
mobility. In the process the development and consulting services of the
MBtech Group are becoming increasingly important. In Detroit MBtech is also
presenting an adapted turbo diesel designed for use in light aircraft.
MBtech's reference project at the SAE congress proves that a
high-quality adaptation cannot only be more cost-effective but also better
than an entirely new development: A prototype of an aircraft engine
developed in cooperation with Diamond Aircraft based on a 2.0 liter turbo
diesel engine. In comparison to the traditional aircraft engines the new
turbo diesel not only delivers considerably higher performance and torque
but also 20 percent less fuel consumption. State-of-the-art components
enable the compact four-cylinder engine to run on either diesel or
kerosene. Furthermore, MBtech also supports customers on the path towards
certification and production.
In Detroit MBtech is also presenting a unique process competence for
complex metal forming involving high-strength steels (HSS), advanced high-
strength steels (AHSS) and aluminum. The new "Art-to-Part" services are
available worldwide for diverse industries. Especially for the automotive
body-in-white development, this process competence delivers both
considerable reductions in weight to improve fuel economy as well as
significant enhancements in crashworthiness.
Regardless of whether engine variants or new automobile chassis
manufacturing procedures -- At MBtech every customer project profits from
the unique combination of engineering know-how encompassing the entire
vehicle and established consulting competence. As such MBtech makes a
decisive contribution to developing and implementing sustainable solutions
to the current challenges facing mobility.
