Auto Shanghai is being held from April 22 to 29 at the International Center for Exhibition and Convention in Shanghai where KSPG AG's Hardparts, Mechatronics and Aftermarket divisions are presenting their products in the German Pavilion in hall 6.2 on stand 6B E 503. The German first-tier supplier is exhibiting components from its Kolbenschmidt and Pierburg brands that will play a major role in reducing emissions on future engine generations. Also on show in original equipment quality are aftermarket components such as pumps, pistons, valves, cylinder head gaskets.
KSPG is emphasizing its professional partnership role with the auto industry, the broad-based product lineup indicating how fuel consumption and emissions can be lowered with products such as exhaust-gas recirculation systems, throttle flaps and valves plus pumps with variable on-demand delivery rates. The steel and lightweight pistons with friction-reducing technologies along with high-duty plain bearings on show at Auto Shanghai are also helping to make engines kinder to the environment
Emission reduction in China
Statistics tell us that China has over 264 million motor vehicles of which 154 million are passenger cars. Altogether 18.4 million new vehicles were sold in all of 2014 during which auto production jumped 9 percent. To address the generally high pollution prevalent in the Beijing capital, March1, 2013 saw the introduction of the Beijing 5 emission standard. This is somewhat like Euro 5. 2016 will already see the advent of its successor Beijing 6.
