Ignition products company ENERPULSE Inc. says its patented Pulstar pulse plug prototype demonstrated a 2.7% improvement in vehicle fuel efficiency compared with conventional spark plugs in Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) FTP 75 testing as well as in company tests. ENERPULSE CEO Daniel Parker says the improvement "is nearly triple the industry-desired 1% (fuel efficiency) improvement and surpassed ENERPULSE's own goal of a 2% improvement."
ENERPULSE is seeking a second round of investment capital to finance a Pulstar product launch.
