Powertrain group
We believe in sustainable mechatronics that help safeguard the environment and enable the development of robust, tried and tested drive solutions. Our focus is on valves and throttles, from the intake of air to the exhaust stage, and components close to the combustion chamber.
The Sonceboz approach
Electronically controlled sensors and actuators provide a quicker and more precise control of the engine. Sonceboz offers brushless electrical actuators with high operating speeds and very precise positioning.
Integrating sensors or control electronics supports decentralised intelligence and helps on-board diagnostics systems (OBD) to monitor errors and failures. As ever more actuators are being integrated into the engines, our mechatronic solutions must be compact and sometimes be direct drive to facilitate an optimal design of the engine block.
Recirculation of exhaust gases
The aim is to reduce the production of NOx by internal combustion engines. To ensure this, the solution consists of redirecting part of the exhaust gases into the intake manifold.
