Automotive Vents – Effective Components For Protecting Sensitive Automotive Electronics
Reducing fuel consumption and emissions is a top priority for many automobile manufacturers. To meet both today’s Euro5 standard and future emission regulations, vehicles must be made more efficient. This is why more and more vehicle functions that were once mechanically or hydraulically driven are being replaced by electrical components. Compressors, pumps, and even motors are just a few common examples to mention. As engine control become...
