DENSO Receives 2015 PACE Award

“This recognition confirms DENSO’s continued leadership in innovation and our ability to meet the needs of automakers and car buyers,” said Jason Hendry, director of Climate Control at DENSO International America, Inc. “Using DENSO’s wide ranging design and manufacturing capabilities in the thermal space, we developed the industry’s first standardized automotive climate control module that can more easily fit into different instrument panels across different makes and models. The lighter and more efficient design adds value for automakers, and the smaller size allows for more legroom and interior space for driver and passengers.”

This is DENSO’s second PACE Award. Its Very High-Pressure Solenoid Fuel Injection System won a PACE Award in 2004. DENSO will continue to help create an advanced automotive society by developing technologies that can improve comfort and environmental performance of vehicles.
