gasoline applications

IP has completed a wide range of turnkey gasoline calibration projects, covering the latest powertrain control systems on a wide range of engines, many with high levels of control system complexity and feature content. Past projects range from conventional model year updates to applications on complete new engine families.

As well as the turnkey projects, IP also has significant experience in calibration work on new emission concepts and new systems

On turnkey projects with new emission requirements, we recommend a concept study to prove the capability of the engine and aftertreatment system 'up front' and to fix the hardware at the earliest possible stage.
