If you seek to make a difference on a global scale, working with next-gen technologies and the sharpest collaborative teams, then we could be a perfect match.
Who we are
In Powertrain Engineering and Base Engine, we are working with the traditional internal combustion engine (ICE). We are constantly seeking smarter technical solutions and try to develop better products for both customers and our environment. We are proud product owners and accountable for the lifecycle management of our products, from advanced engineering, through product development into the maintenance phase. On a daily base we cooperate with the other engineering organizations, purchasing department, projects, test engineers and suppliers as well as our colleagues at the sites in France, USA, Japan and Brazil. Our products are used in more than 190 markets and considered to be part of the core business.
To improve environmental, weight and cost we want to develop a new oil supply connection design for hot area application. The connection will mainly be used for turbocharger bearing house lubrication and cooling.
Project description and objectives
Project description and objectives:
The objective is to design a hydraulic oil connection based on current spherical high pressure fuel pipe connection designs and adapt it to turbo oil supply. The application has less demanding pressure but has a high temperature location.
