The technology developed and introduced for the marine market has
been simplified for 2 stroke scooter and motorcycle application.
The scooter market is very cost sensitive and specific development
has been undertaken to achieve the low cost systems required.
Since 2000, Orbital's motorcycle system has
been in production on European 2 stroke scooters, followed by introduction
on the Taiwan domestic market on 2005.
Further product is scheduled for release in
India on 3 wheeler autorickshaws.
Direct injection on the 2 stroke scooter offers
the following benefits to the end user:
- lower exhaust emissions
- improved fuel economy
- enhanced performance
The one Orbital motorcycle system is capable
of providing the performance, fuel economy and emission control
to suit the various global market requirements.
In the European market, the Orbital systems
enable the manufacturers to maintain the performance level of the
traditional 2 stroke engine whilst meeting the ever increasing emission
control requirements.
In India and other key Asian countries, the
key requirement is improved fuel economy. The Orbital systems achieve
between 30 to 40% fuel economy improvement on the autorickshaw,
and localisation of supply has been implemented to achieve the cost
targets required in this region.
More recent developments have been to address
the requirements of the niche very high performance market such
as Enduro and Trail motorcycles. The Orbital systems have achieved
emission control with performance levels up to 140 kW/litre and
160 nm/litre.
In addition, the system can enable 'multi-fuel'
capability for spark ignition of diesel, kerosene and/or gasoline
for motorcycle applications.
