In addition to the ever growing number of electrical devices now present within the typical vehicle, come a host of connectors, relays, fuses, switches and sensors, all of which play their part in maintaining its performance and ensuring its reliability.
Without its sensors the modern vehicle would be inoperable as they are present in every area of its design from engine management and safety devices, to driver control and comfort systems.
The pedal sensor is a prime example of why this developing technology, for which Hella is a world leader, is important as it is the intermediary between the driver and the vehicle.
Updated technology
Hella say mechanical linkages for pedals are increasingly being replaced by sensor technology, which allows far more precise communication between the driver and the engine management system and therefore increases the vehicle’s responsiveness and the engine’s efficiency.
In a statement, the company said: “With this increasing reliance on sensors and their correct operation, it is only logical for those responsible for the service and repair of these vehicles to fit high quality replacements supplied by those manufacturers who have invested in the technology, developed the specialism and possess the expertise to produce them for both OE and aftermarket supply.
“Therefore, alongside pedal sensors, Hella’s comprehensive range includes oil level and water temperature sensors and rain and light sensors, as well as air mass sensors, camshaft sensors and throttle value sensors to name but a few.”
Hella’s online portal ‘Hella Tech World‘ contains up-to-date technical information and practical tips to support technicians in identifying the source of the problem and providing the right solution.
