    Electrification dominates headlines, and combustion-based propulsion remains a critical pillar of the global powertrain mix. From next-generation gasoline engines and cleaner diesel to the emergence of hydrogen ICE, innovation continues around fuel delivery, tank systems, emissions management, and lightweight integration.

    ITB has long been active in this space, having delivered consulting assignments, multi-client studies, and decades of dedicated conferences exploring the future of fuel systems and propulsion hardware from an engineering and innovation vantage point. We help clients understand the transition—not just to electrification, but also within combustion technologies themselves.

     

    🔮 Shaping the Future of Combustion-Based Propulsion

     

    Fuel Delivery System Complexity

    Emission constraints and packaging demands are reshaping fuel lines, vapor containment, and pump architectures.

     

    🔧 Lightweight, Modular Integration

    Tier 1s and OEM customers are rethinking existing modules and fuel tanks for compatibility across ICE, HEV, and hydrogen ICE platforms.

     

     

    🔥 Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines

    Asian and several European OEMs are investing in H₂ ICE as a viable zero-carbon option.

     

    🌍 Regional Divergence in ICE Demand

    Diesel remains essential for CV and off-highway, while gasoline persists in the interim as a hybrid-friendly solution.

     

    🛠️ What We Help Clients Do

    • Track evolution of fuel delivery systems across gasoline, diesel, and H₂ ICE architectures
    • Support sourcing strategies for vapor management, pump modules, tanks and fuel line materials
    • Benchmark regional OEM propulsion roadmaps and implications for tier suppliers
    • Analyze trade-offs in tank and line system materials—multi-layer plastics, steel, composites
    • Draw on ITB’s proprietary industry research, client engagements, and fuel systems events to provide deep, actionable foresight
