A former Ford Motor Co. Engineer has developed a fuel injection system for small engines that can reduce emissions from motorcycles and ATVs. “It’s something that people don’t realize, but the traditional automobile has come a long way in becoming much cleaner than smaller engines,” Kyle Schwulst told CNN. “So much attention has been paid to automotive engines, but the smaller ones are much more harmful to the environment.”
Do two-stroke engines need electronic fuel injection?
Therefore he started ElectroJet, a small company that develops electronic fuel injection systems for smaller engines, in 2003. Now the company has a partnership with Magnetti Marelli and they are developing an electronic fuel injection system for Indian and Chinese markets. The components will have the same size and shape as carburetors so OEMs can swap them in with minimal retooling of production lines. The two Asian countries have been moving to emission standards like those in much of Europe. ElectroJet has raised about $2.6 million in public and private funding. Now the company is poised to take off.
