* “Vacuum on Demand” - electric vacuum pump (EVP) helps
reduce carbon-dioxide emissions from conventional internal-combustion engines.
* EVP can eliminate between 1.4 and 1.8 grams of carbon
dioxide per kilometer more than mechanical vacuum pumps.
Going green is the hot topic in the automotive industry. The
European Union (EU) intends to impose strict limitations in order to
significantly reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from automobiles. Starting
in 2015, the EU-wide fleet limit for new vehicles will gradually drop from 130
grams of CO2 per kilometer to 95 grams of CO2 by 2020. Constant refinement of
technologies and materials are the only way to meet this challenge.
International automotive supplier Continental’s light but powerful plastic
electric vacuum pump (EVP) offers a solution for reducing emissions.
