Industrial heavy-duty workload.
Ultra-clean power by EControls.

The Challenge

Strict engine emissions requirements were introduced into the industrial market in 2004. Equipment manufacturers had to make the drastic shift from mechanical controls to fully electronic systems. EControls was there to meet the challenge.

The Industrial Market

The industrial market is comprised of forklifts, generators, pumps, construction equipment, and many other products that perform mission-critical tasks to support our everyday lives.

EControls delivered the powerful fusion of mechanical, electronic, and software technologies to provide game-changing control systems.

The Process

Electronics are key ingredients in many EControls products.

From concept through development to in-house production, we rapidly progress from first principles understanding to a final manufactured assembly. All electronics are produced to world-class standards in San Antonio, Texas.

One-team approach. Radically successful systems.

EControls engages deeply with powertrain and vehicle manufacturers to provide first principles understanding, base engine design, and testing support for a flawless end-customer experience.

Combustion events in an engine are fast. EControls products are faster.

In the amount of time it takes to say "power," an engine operating at 2,500 rpm will experience 90 controlled explosions. Our fuel products can react 1,000 times per second to commands, and our control modules perform thousands of calculations in that period of time.

On-engine Data

Our engine dynamometer facility has one purpose: to serve our customers. Whether our clients need turnkey engine calibrations or an application study, we have the expertise and the equipment to lead the way.

Products Developed


Revolutionary Fuel Control

Typical fueling devices respond within 100ms. The Direct Electronic Pressure Regulator (D-EPR) responds within 10ms while providing extremely high accuracy, contamination robustness, as well as packaging and cost benefits.





Challenging Convention

Competitor’s high-horsepower products do not provide the speed or accuracy required for today’s demanding applications. EControls delivered a line of game changing fuel and air control products to meet this technology challenge.

EControls didn't just offer a conceptual solution to the air and fuel control issues at Cummins, EControls had a working concept in a matter of weeks with on-engine data to demonstrate the actual improvement possible with an EControls designed system.

When the time came to develop an all new engine and control system to meet stringent China VI emissions requirements, Yuchai turned to EControls for our advanced technology and our rapid development and integration capability.

The Process

Question Everything

Testing to a specification isn’t enough. Developing products that robustly deliver near-zero emissions and survive the harsh demands of a heavy-duty truck environment require thinking outside of the specifications as only EControls can.

Rapid Design

By the time prototype tooling is available for a typical OEM program, EControls can deliver production-ready parts. Our deep experience in the industries we serve, our ability to leverage simulation tools, and our massive toolbox of proven mechanical, electrical, and software subcomponents enable the development of new assemblies and systems in record time. We validate those new systems using a disciplined regimen of accelerated testing to ensure successful field tests and production launch.

Collective Development of
Game-Changing Engines

We don’t just design fuel systems. We can - and often do - provide base engine design guidance to ensure the end product exceeds customer expectations. When our customers win, we all win.

Clear a Path

EControls runs fast and enables customers to be first to market. Our systems can be tailored to meet current and future emissions requirements with fast-acting hardware and highly configurable software. Through a team approach, EControls works intimately with our customers to rapidly calibrate and introduce products to multiple specific end markets with varying requirements.

On The Road

Proven technology with heavy-duty reliability. EControls systems are changing the world and cleaning the air.

Products Developed


Revolutionary Fuel Control

Typical fueling devices respond within 100ms. The CFV® (Continuous Flow Valve) responds within 10ms while precisely measuring mass fuel flow.





Leveraged Platforms

EControls worked seamlessly with our customer's engineering team to develop a customized intake manifold for direct delivery to the engine manufacturing facility.





EGR Flow

High-precision EGR measurement is paramount to engine performance and protection.
