Thanks to the four-year work of a team of Magneti Marelli brazilian engineers and an investment of 9 million of reais (around US$ 3 million), the bi-fuel technology is a reality since March 2003 and its advantages are benefiting thousands of Brazilians and mainly the environment. With the creation of SFS® (Software Flexfuel Sensor), the choice between the two fuels is now made by the driver. The SFS®, a powerful calculation software, is placed in the electronic injection module, also known as “centralina” or eletronic control unit (ECU). SFS® identifies and quantifies the combination of alcohol and gasoline in the tank, using information received from sensors installed throughout the fuel injection system, among them the Lambda sensor, engines temperatures, speed, rotation and knock sensors. Based on these information, the software determines the exact amount of fuel that needs to be injected in the engine and also the optimal spark plug timing to ignite the mixture. The first version of a flexible system appeared in the United States in 1991, but it required the inclusion of a physical sensor to analyze the fuel, an unnecessary item in the case of SFS®, which raised the price of the vehicle and still could not be used in Brazil due to the amount of water present in fuels. The SFS® eliminated this physical sensor making the technology viable. ‘SFS FlexFuel@ - The innovative SFS® - Software Flexfuel Sensor gives the driver the power of choice when fueling, making possible the use of gasoline, alcohol or a blend of both in any proportion. This launch BR a established the leadership and innovation position of SFS Magneti Marelli in Electronic Fuel Injection Technology in the brazilian market and created a new category of vehicles, the “flex” cars. Electronic contro! unt (ECU) The positive expectation is based on the natural advantages of the system. Itis a brazilian energy source that benefits the commercial trade balance. Alcohol combustion produces less CO and COz than gasoline and provides more power tothe engine, And due to the fact thatit works with any proportion of the blend, it guarantees the owner of the car the possibility to choice the fuel to. be filled, in accordance with its availability and its price.ce TetraFuel® - The technology able to manage four types of TE.

Unlike the existing products in the market, TetraFuel® is not an The TetraFuel technology adaptation but an integrated Low Pressure System that After the pioneer work, necessary to provides real economy and lower CO2 emissions. The system chooses the best fuel option for each driving condition, without introduce the SFS® (Software Flextuel Sensor) technology in Brazil, Magneti Marelli innovates the need of switches or power loss when using. again presenting the new TetraFuel® System. The Magneti Marelli TetraFuel® system provides within a single ECU an extension of the fuel management capability to four different fuel types, thus enabling a vehicle to be filled on choice with gasoline, gasohol (blend of gasoline mixed with 22% alcohol), pure alcohol or CNG (Compressed Natural Gas). Liquid Injector TetraFuet® complete integrated intake manila The system offers to the automakers an important cost optimization as an identical engine layout can be produced for all Mercosur countries or other continents, which unifies production means and structures for both export and domestic markets The TetraFuel® approach chooses automatically the fuel option for each driving situation to reach the optimal compromise between performance and fuel economy. Furthermore, the Magneti Marelli TetraFuel® system, which is based on a fully integrated low-pressure approach and not on an adaptation, as are current retrofit systems, decreases significantly pollutant emissions and in particular the GHG-emission (Green House Gas - i.e CO2). The Magneti Marelli TetraFuel® system is 100% developed in Brazil, but the technology can be exported to.

By means of the TetraFuel® technology the gas management capability is available as original equipment which eliminates a series of tri aMagneti Marelli custom-chip which gle ECU can control the optimized ;soline and gas.
