K-Jetronic
Since its introduction, the K-Jetronic gasoline-injection system has proved itself in millions of vehicles. This development was a direct result of the advantages which are inherent in the injection of gasoline with regard to demands for economy of operation, high output power, and last but not least improvements to the quality of the exhaust gases emitted by the vehicle. Whereas the call for higher engine output was the foremost consideration at the start of the development work on gasoline injection, today the target is to achieve higher fuel economy and lower toxic emissions.
