The
world’s first ‘breakthrough’ gasoline passenger car engine with a compacted
graphite iron (CGI) vee cylinder block will bow in the first quarter of 2014.
The first hint of the exciting
new engine came a year ago at the annual general meeting in Sweden of process
control specialist SinterCast when chief executive officer Dr Steve Dawson
said: “We are happy to announce that we have achieved our first high volume
commitment for a CGI cylinder block in a passenger car gasoline engine.”
He added: “The engine programme
has been approved. We know the start of production (SOP), the production
volumes and the applications. Breakthrough would not be too strong a word to
use for this. This is an exciting development and a milestone for SinterCast.”
