NGK CONFIRMS WORLDWIDE LEADERSHIP IN SPARK PLUGS OThe year 1997 marked an important moment for NGK Spark Plug Co. Ltd. The company consolidated its leadership in the global spark plug market. Based in Japan, the company has made spark plugs since 1936 in Nagoya, and in addition to two other factories in Japan, it has facilities in Brazil, the United State, France, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand Taiwan, Korea, and Ecuador. It also has various trade companies and offices in other countries. Its products are supplied directly to most auto makers in the world. In Brazil, NGK is the leader in production and sales. Over the years, it has conquered 75% of the replacement parts market, and it's been present in all car manufacturers with an average participation of 80%. Its range of products cover all the needs, in both the replacement and original parts markets, for engines powered by gasoline, alcohol, or natural gas. Resistor plugs - This product contains a resistor inserted in the central electrode and meets all the thermal and mechanical requirements of a high quality product. It attenuates noises and electromagnetic interference that are caused by the vehicle's ignition system, AM-FM radios, radio communication devices, and the electronic combustion system. Today, nearly all vehicles use this product as original equipment. Resistor Green Plug - Contains a concave ground electrode and a V-grooved central electrode. This shape decreases energy loss and increases power and combustion. As a result, it decreases ignition failures, and facilitates smooth engine running, easy starts even in cold temperatures, and reduces toxic emissions. Multiple
electrode plugs - Produced with two or three electrodes, these ensure
greater durability and reduce the possibility of engine failure.
These are used as original equipment on several car models. The
two-electrode version has replacement intervals of 40,000 km under
normal use. The three-electrode version should be replaced every
60,000 km. In both cases, the cost-benefit relation is very favorable,
as is the confidence level and maintenance requirements. |
