PERTH, AUSTRALIA Orbital Engine Corporation today announced details of product releases by
Piaggio and Peugeot for the European summer.
Piaggio, the largest scooter manufacturer in Europe and maker of the famous Vespa scooter, has for
the first time offered products for sale incorporating Orbital technology. Two 5Ucc models Rave been
introduced, the Piaggio NRG and the Gilera Runner . These two models use a 50cc "Pure Jet" engine
that incorporates the Orbital direct injection system. Both models comply with the Euro II emissions
levels and achieve a fuel economy of 50 km/litre. These models are the first scooters to use Orbital's
direct injection technology in combination with a simple catalyst to achieve low levels of pollution.
Peugeot Motocycles have recently launched two 5Occ models incorporating Orbital direct injection, the
Looxor and Elystar. The Looxor, previewed at last year's Paris Motor Show, and the innovative
Elystar use the Two Stroke Direct Injection (TSD1) engine developed by feugeot using Orbital
technology. The TSDl engine complies with European emissions levels and provides much improved
fuel economy and other user benefits. The Elystar introduces a new level of safety and functionality to
the 5Ucc scooter market, including its advanced braking system.
These four models enter the market with the two Aprilia scooter models introduced in previous years.
"Aprilia, Peugeot Motocycles and fiaggio are three of the four biggest European scooter
manufacturers and, based on the models launched to date, we are confident we will achieve double
digit market share of the European 5Occ scooter market next calendar year," Orbital's CEO, Peter
Cook. said.
Synerject, the JV between Orbital and Siemens VDO, is the supplier of the fuel systems to each of
these models. In addition to these products, Synerject is also supplying port injection (PI) systems to
these and other customers. These include the feugeot Elystar 125 and 15Occ models, the SanYang
150 cc and the recently released Kymco 125cc. The direct injection and port injection fuel systems are
complementary across a manufacturer's range, providing efficiencies and economies of scale for
Synerject.
