New production record for L’Orange

Electronically-controlled injection technology is a major element in the achievement of low-emission, low-consumption diesel engines.

“Against the background of ever more stringent emissions legislation, injection is of enormous strategic significance for engine manufacturers,” explained L’Orange CEO Dr. Ralph-Michael Schmidt. The electronic control system facilitates the optimum balance of injection pressure, timing and sequence. L’Orange has been manufacturing common rail injectors for off-highway applications in high-volume series production since 1996 and the record-breaking injector being celebrated today is used in MTU Series 4000 engines.

In response to the high levels of demand for L’Orange injectors, the company mobilised investment in production capacity at its Glatten location where a new hall built specially for injector production was opened in May 2009.
