SYNERJECT OPENS ITS CHINA TEST
CENTER
Leading Non-Automotive OEM Engine
Management Supplier opens its Chongqing Test Center to support growing
Chinese Business
NEWPORT NEWS, Va., March 1st, 2007 -
Synerject LLC, a joint venture formed by Siemens VDO Automotive
and Orbital Engine Corporation, today announced the opening of its
new Test and Application Engineering Center in Chongqing, a branch
of Synerject Motorcycle Systems Changchun Co, Ltd, its fully owned
Chinese subsidiary. The Test Center will support Synerject’s
Chinese expansion initiative.
The Chongqing Test and Application Engineering
Center opened March 1, 2007. The facility is equipped with the dedicated
state-of-the art engine and vehicle test and calibration equipment
needed to customize and calibrate motorcycle engines to meet legislated
and customer requirements. The new location also houses the Synerject
Sales offices for China. The Chongqing location was selected because
of its proximity to most of the Chinese motorcycle manufacturers’
headquarters and development centers. Registration of the new Synerject
operation in Chongqing was approved by the local and provincial
governments and is now complete.
“Implementation of this aggressive Synerject
initiative in China is a significant strategic commitment,"
had earlier stated Synerject president and CEO Tagliante. "It
provides us with the tools needed to address Asia's growing market
potential, as a result of the anticipated introduction and implementation
of stringent motorcycle engines emission control legislation."
Synerject has proven its engine management
technologies for motorcycle applications in Europe and North America
for more than 10 years. Creating an active presence in China, which
produces half of all the world's motorcycles, was mandatory for
Synerject to achieve its objectives in the Asian region.
Synerject, headquartered in Newport News, Va.,
was formed in 1997 between Siemens VDO Automotive Corp. and Orbital
Corporation Ltd. and has additional offices in France. Synerject
supplies engine management systems, modules and components for the
marine, recreational, motorcycle and industrial markets. The scope
of its product offerings ranges from vehicle fuel delivery systems
to complete engine management modules.
