Common Rail System for
Commercial Vehicles
The key to a successful layout of a combustion system for commercial vehicles is in the management
of peak torque operation points. For this purpose, Bosch has enhanced its Common Rail System with
increasing degrees of freedom – i.e. with flexible rate shaping. A second solenoid valve activates a
pressure-amplifier inside the injector, an optimized offset of nozzle needle timing reduces the injec-
tion rate by half right at the start of injection, and the formation of nitrogen oxide is reduced consider-
ably. This enables the engine manufacturer to adhere to the emission limits while further reducing
fuel consumption and the engine-related effort for the air sytem.
