Diesel engines have a high thermal efficiency and low CO2 emission levels and are thus used for many purposes. To increase the thermal efficiency and to decrease the NOx emission level, research is focusing on combustion in the cylinder.
We are applying the results of our research to the Mitsubishi UE diesel engine, the Mitsubishi KU diesel engine, the Mitsubishi Sagami engine, and the Mitsubishi Meiki spark ignition engine. Research and development is also being conducted on new water-hydraulic equipment and machinery; intensive efforts are being made to improve the performance and durability of water-hydraulic equipment.
Furthermore, much research effort is being devoted to developing computer-controlled machenes which use high-speed electro-hydraulic motion control technology.
