Commercial Vehicle Engine Ignition - Alternative Fuels

We offer a full range of value and premium inductive and capacitive ignition systems for on- and off-road spark ignited engines.

Our standard inductive systems include ignition coils, coil top, different types of extension solutions, as well as associated control modules and software.

The capacitive ignition system is the state-of-the-art ignition system, that has been on the market for decades, offering superior combustion and monitoring diagnostics features, such as pre-ignition and misfire detection, peak-pressure location for reduced fuel consumption and possibility to monitor the spark plug wear for service on-demand applications.

FlexiSpark, the next generation capacitive system, offers superior ignition performance at all operating engine conditions, unique fuel versatility (H2-ready technology) and significant spark plug wear reduction through optimal control of the power and duration of the spark.

FlexiSpark

Go green - Go economical

FlexiSpark is a fully fuel-versatile, natural gas and hydrogen-ready solution.

Hydrogen gas spark ignited internal combustion engines will be an important complement to electrification in the heavy-duty segment, especially in long-haul and heavy load applications. Compared to BEVs and FCEVs, the H2 internal combustion engine offers substantial advantages:

- Lower cost of ownership

- Re-use of existing combustion engine assest

- Shorter time to market

- Better payload thanks to its contained weight

- Low sensitivity to Hydrogen purity

With FlexiSpark® technology inside, our hydrogen ignition system offers a robust solution to meet specific requirements for H2 engines while avoiding challenges such as pre-ignition and excessive spark plug wear.

Small Engine Ignition System

Small Engine Ignition System

Small engine systems trusted and chosen by professionals

Our modular approach provides complete flexibility and customization across all engine management system components, that can seamlessly integrate with the existing architecture of a product. This includes engine control, actuators and sensors for air, fuel and ignition control, as well as for example sub-systems that dynamically optimize air-fuel ratios.

Alternatively, we can combine our modules to deliver complete engine management adapted specifically for the customer application.

Environmental consideration is of course critical in all solutions we deliver. Focus is on combustion efficiency using for example ion-sense technology, as well as supporting alternative fuels.

Linear position sensors

Linear position sensors

Built for precision

Phinia develops and manufactures inductive and contact-free linear position sensors designed to work reliably in the most demanding environments.

This product area delivers precise linear measurement solutions based on inductive technology. Inductive sensors are easily adapted to various applications such as clutch and brake wear, gear position indication and measurement of liquid levels.

Designed and manufactured to meet the automotive industry’s extensive requirements for diverse vehicle applications.

The linear position sensor is an essential component in automated manual transmissions (AMT) used in heavy trucks. The AMT is a known and proven contributor to reduced fuel consumption by optimizing the timing and shifting of gears. Removing the need for manual interaction from the truckdriver enhances and simplifies the work environment and increases road safety by minimizing distractions.

The sensors are fully contact-free, reliable, highly accurate, and have a long and proven history in gearbox solutions produced by leading commercial vehicle OEMs. All products are offered fully tailored to the specific requirements of each application, with adaptable housing geometry, stroke length and mating parts. They can be fitted with either a molded cable or an integrated connector.
