DENSO’s New Technologies
ECHING (Germany) ― DENSO Corporation presented its advanced technologies at the IAA 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. DENSO’s new technologies and products, with a focus on the environment, safety, comfort and convenience were on display in Hall 4.0, booth B09.
DENSO exhibited its Energy Management display. It showed a variety of products that reduce the amount of fuel consumed while driving and that contribute to the efficient use of fuel energy. This approach also will help improve the vehicle’s environmental aspects, lowering CO2 emissions, without influencing the vehicle’s safety, comfort and convenience.
In the
Energy Management display, DENSO introduced technologies that contribute to
reducing the use of fuel, such as gasoline direct injection products, common rail system for diesel engines, and hybrid vehicle system products. The company also showcased technologies that contribute to the
efficient use of fuel energy, such as a cold storage system to help cool the vehicle’s cabin when the air conditioning is switched off during idle stops.

Environment, Safety, Comfort and Convenience
Environment: DENSO exhibited the world’s first permanently engaged starter in which the pinion gear is constantly connected to the engine’s ring gear. This mechanism enables faster, quieter and smoother operation of idle stop and start systems.
Safety: DENSO’s new thin film transistor (TFT-LCD) instrument cluster displays all the information of a conventional cluster, but also allows the driver to change its display modes to his or her preferences. The cluster has an integrated nighttime vision system and can show coordinated car navigation information, such as route directions and upcoming lane information, on a full-screen, TFT-LCD display.
Comfort: DENSO showcased the world’s first passenger vehicle air conditioning system that uses ejector technology. The ejector, which is a small refrigerant injector, reduces the compressor’s workload and contributes to an overall reduction in power consumption.
Convenience: The company also displayed the world’s first remote touch controller for vehicles with a two-dimensional cursor on the display screen, allowing the driver to control cabin equipment, such as the car navigation system, audio system, and air conditioning system.
DENSO, a leading global supplier of advanced automotive technology, systems and components, employs around 120,000 people in 32 countries. Consolidated sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 totaled 24.2 billion Euro globally, and 3.6 billion Euro in Europe. DENSO has approximately 15,000 associates in more than 30 companies in 13 European countries.
