The 2010 Automotive News PACE Environmental Award has finally been given out, and its a five-way tie: five different automotive parts suppliers have taken home the price thanks to their industry-changing innovations. The award recognizes suppliers who contribute to the stability of the environment and changing the way auto parts are manufactured; many auto transporters have already started placing orders at some of the award-winning companies, and many more repair shops are on their way.
The innovations include a new NOx sensor, new engines that get better gas mileage and produce less emissions, new fuel injection systems that eliminate waste and promote better mileage, and diesel direct-injection technologies which offer unique cabilities that reduce emissions by over 30% were all awarded, and 2011 is shaping up to be an even better year for the awards.
