Secondly, low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation valves (LP EGR) were ordered by a well-known Chinese premium OEM. The order is also worth around €10 million and relates to the manufacturer’s premium saloon and SUV models. The valves will also be manufactured at the Pierburg plant in Kunshan. Series production is scheduled to start in December 2025 and the contract will run for six years. The low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation valves reduce nitrogen oxide emissions and lower fuel consumption. The customer was impressed by the quality features of the compact flap valve with its outstanding durability, long service life, high corrosion resistance and high positioning accuracy.
