Federal-Mogul Powertrain, a division of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation, has developed a range of spark plugs for heavy-duty vehicles that run on compressed natural gas (CNG). Demand for CNG-fueled vehicles for urban transport (buses) and freight distribution (trucks) is being driven by increasing restrictions on emissions and environmental pressures to use more sustainable energy resources.
An illustration shows a spark from an Advanced Corona Ignition System plug igniting fuel. Researchers at Federal-Mogul Corp. are developing a new type of spark plug that sends a web of plasma bolts into cylinders to ignite fuel.
This news does not look good at all and the problems seem to be increasing, with more closures, firings and lay offs it only increases the number of unemployed which reduces the GDP per capita and just makes things even worse. Is there a light at the end of the tunnel, that is not a train coming straight at us?
