The United States Federal-Mogul Corporation (NASDAQ: FDML), a leading global supplier of automotive components , technology and after-sales services, recently announced that it will further expand its piston production scale in China to meet the increasing market demand for Elastoval® upgraded piston technology. The application will reduce vehicle emissions and reduce fuel consumption. The expansion of the Federal-Mogul Qingdao Piston Plant reflects its corporate strategy of serving local and international automakers in China. The Federal-Mogul Qingdao plant is located in the Qingdao Technical Economic and Technological Development Zone. The manufacturing base currently employs 800 people. After the completion of the expansion project, the total production area of ​​the plant will increase by 30%. It is expected that in the second half of 2014, the Qingdao plant after capacity expansion will be another China's localization of the production of three international automaker engine platforms provides Elastoval® upgraded pistons. "Mogul is committed to providing advanced powertrain solutions for customers in China and around the world, reducing emissions and improving fuel economy," said Steven Krause, Director of Operations at Federal-Mogul Powertrain East Asia, "The investment in Qingdao has been realized. Our commitment is to develop the most advanced and foremost piston technology in China, and to support local customers with an international powertrain solution.†Engine pistons play a crucial role in improving fuel economy and providing solutions that meet emission regulations, and can cope with higher temperatures and pressures during the combustion of miniaturized and turbocharged engines. The miniaturization of China's auto market and turbocharged engines are facing rapid growth. Federal-Mogul's Elastoval® technology is designed to meet the needs of more and more engine platforms through the design of high-strength pistons and skirt coatings for low-friction, wear-resistant pistons. "Mogul has excellent professional accomplishments in design and manufacturing, which allows us to create the most suitable solution for the increasingly demanding needs of the Chinese market." Krause added, "Mogul is very honored to be the leader in piston technology. The Qingdao plant is also very proud to participate in this market area with huge potential for growth.The Chinese automotive industry is technology-led and is constantly growing. Our goal is to help our customers become highly efficient and competitive market participants in this industry. And we do not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to build advanced manufacturing systems and increase production capacity is a strong manifestation of this purpose." The expanded Qingdao Piston Plant will also produce an upgraded version of the Federal Motors' Elastoval® II aluminum piston to meet the demand for high-efficiency passenger car gasoline engines in the Chinese market. The successful development and launch of Elastoval® piston technology, the rapid growth of China's light vehicle market, and the urgent demand of customers for improving engine fuel efficiency are the strong catalysts for the Federal-Mogul's implementation of the plant expansion and technology investment in Qingdao. “With the expansion of the plant area and the introduction of new technologies, the FMTEC Qingdao Piston Plant will leap to a new level in its production capacity and will be able to serve our important automotive customers more efficiently.†Zhou Zhengguo, General Manager, Qingdao Piston Plant Indicated.
