The question of its origin is complex, as various forms of this technology emerged over several decades. The concept involves introducing fuel into an internal combustion engine by pressurized means, rather than relying on the Venturi effect as in carburetors. Early experimentation dates back to the late 19th century.
Its development significantly improved engine efficiency and reduced emissions compared to earlier fuel delivery systems. By precisely controlling the amount of fuel injected, optimizing combustion became more achievable. This resulted in enhanced performance, better fuel economy, and lower pollutant output. The technology’s benefits became increasingly apparent as environmental regulations tightened and demands for higher-performing vehicles grew.
