Engine Vacuum & Breathers
Kongsberg Automotive produces vacuum harnesses to transfer vacuum from engine to auxiliary engine components, such as turbo waste gate and valves (EGR).
Stringent emissions and fuel reduction legislation are the driving force behind engine downsizing and additional engine controls.
Kongsberg Automotive provides world class CAD service, material- and product know-how to optimize the integration of these lines on the engine.
Advanced thermoforming technology and use of light weight and high temperature resistance materials contributes to the reduction of the CO2 footprint.
