Rising customer expectations and future exhaust and emissions laws place extensive requirements on the oil and fuel consumption of gaseoline and diesel engines. The laser honing developed by Gehring has become an international standard.

At present, the most important objective when developing internal combustion engines for vehicles is the reduction of fuel consumption and polluting emissions. The focus is currently on the CO2 value (g/km).

New car fleets, which are offered in Europe from the end of next year, should not free up more thand 130 g of carbon dioxide per kilometer route releasiong on average - otherwise the automakers threaten heavy fines. Gehring therefore developed technologies that reduce the emission of more CO2.

Gehring uses laser honing for many years in mass production of cylinder bores, in order to minimize friction and erosion. In addition to this application the laser beams is increasingly used for roughening of surfaces.

Gehring presented its new lifehone series at the leading trade fair of mechanical engineering in the Asian region, the China International Machine Tool Show (CIMT).
