The global challenges for cleaner engine technology place a heavy burden on electronic control. Creative technology such as direct injection and throttle by wire create more powerful and more fuel efficient engines with lower emissions. While the majority of this type of technology would be considered evolutionary from the base electronic fuel injection (EFI) system, production engine technology can only be realized with modern system on a chip technology designed specifically for the automotive market. As the future of the global auto industry pushes beyond the Ultra-low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) and European Union Regulation 715/2007(EURO V) limits, this burden of increasingly complex electronic control is being transferred to the to the small engine market.
