High energy plasma ignition including the RPG 4700 plasma ignition module in its current form is the ideal solution for the global auto industry and for engine makers of all sizes and fuel types, as it is low cost, allowing manufacturers to meet stringent emission standards, increase fuel efficiency and improve performance with results that cannot be matched by current state of the art aftermarket ignition systems such as Multiple Spark Discharge.

Indeed no other technology shows promise for solving the fuel economy with reduced emissions problem in such a low cost manner. And best of all, this technology is here today and available in the market! The Obama administration has mandated that by the year 2016, all auto manufacturers achieve an average fuel economy to 35.5 MPG (42 mpg for cars and 26 mpg for light trucks) for their product lineup or pay penalties. The current penalty for not meeting CAFE standards are $5.50 per tenth of a mile per gallon for each tenth (1/10) under the target value times the total volume of those vehicles manufactured for a given model year. Needless to say auto manufacturers are trying to fight this arguing that it will cost them tens millions of dollars in R and D costs over the next few years and a failure to acheive targets will result in more millions in fines.
