Potential fuel savings of the controlled pendulum-slider pump

The purpose of the combustion engine’s power is not only to accelerate the vehicle: Part of this power is diverted to drive the engine accessories, which include oil pumps and coolant pumps, for instance. With the patented controlled pendulum-slider pump Mahle has developed a highly efficient technology. Depending on the control strategy, the application of this oil pump alone can reduce fuel consumption and with it the vehicle’s CO2 emissions considerably.
