We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Diesel Engines",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Plug application requires precision bending from
Hughes, which we summarised at the time by saying "William Hughes' applies two high-accuracy bends to each pin to ensure that the tails of the pins are perfectly aligned when they are inserted in the moulding".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Rail industry looks to the future from
Interfleet Technology: "Thought-leading seminar centres on issues such as improving efficiency of traction energy use and challenges facing the operators".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Schaeffler (UK)
concerning its Valvetrain systems for internal combustion engines
- take a look at Valvetrain technology explained
which says: "Since the introduction of multivalve technology in automotive engine building, there has been considerable progress in valvetrain technology".
Take a look also at the news release from CoCreate Software, Forklift manufacturer chooses CAD system,
as well as Lubricant slashes quantities needed from Bielomatik,
and Coupling suits diesel engines from Centa Transmissions.
