Nissan Motor Co. Ltd has just developed an all new technology in fuel injection. The system features a Dual injector system which is designed to improve fuel efficiency in small capacity petrol engines. The new fuel delivery system, the first of its kind in the world*1, uses an injector for each port rather than one per cylinder - speeding up fuel vaporization, reducing the amount of unburned fuel and reducing hydrocarbon emissions. Nissan will introduce the new system in production vehicles starting early in fiscal 2010.

While similar in theory to direct-injection systems, which also inject fuel directly into cylinders, such direct injection systems are difficult to use on small-displacement engines because they require a high-pressure pump that complicates system design, making component layout less cost-efficient. In contrast, the Nissan Dual Injector system is lighter and structurally simpler because it furnishes fuel at normal pressures, reducing cost by about 60% compared to direct-injection engines of similar displacement. Nissan has been addressing a wide range of actions under "Blue Citizenship," which represents the company's desire to protect the blue planet and to be a corporate citizen that can live symbiotically with people and society. Expect the technology to filter onto Indian shores as well.
