GM and Isuzu

Found this from a search with Google:

Old article.... December 1, 1998:

waw.wardsauto.com

"Japan's Isuzu, which is 37.5% owned by GM, figures prominently in GM's diesel technology plans. In November 1997, GM announced as part of the reorganization of its North American-based Powertrain Group that Isuzu would be solely responsible for development of diesel engines."

Not sure how much that relationship has changed over the years.

Siemens VDO Automotive’s Piezo Common Rail Diesel Direct Injection System Wins Automotive News Pace Award

Siemens VDO Automotive has won the 2003 Automotive News/Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Premier Automotive Suppliers' Contributions to Excellence (PACE) Award for its Piezo Common Rail Diesel Direct Injection System featured in Peugeot and Citroen European diesel passenger cars.

It seems to me that someone mentioned piezo and low pressure were the two methods with the best potential for direct injection (as per Mercedes-Benz?). Looks like Siemens is using piezo... at least for diesel anyway.
