Since the introduction of the oxygen sensor in the 1980s, this staple auto part has continuously evolved to become more efficient in boosting the engine’s performance. Just recently, an oxygen sensor that is smaller than a lighter by Delphi Powertrain Systems was unveiled in this year’s International Bicycle and Motorcycle Industry Trade show in Italy.

The Milan-based event showcased the precision-engineered oxygen sensor that aids engines not only of automobiles but as well as other mode of transportation like motorbikes. Those automobiles equipped with the oxygen sensors are more likely to pass emission standards set by certain agencies. With this small but effective auto part, the vehicle’s power plant gets the right mixture of air and fuel inside it. The oxygen sensor analyzes the emission being produced by the engine and then the readings are transmitted to the engine management computer. From there, the necessary adjustments for the fuel and air ratio are done. What sets this Delphi oxygen sensor is that it is relatively smaller than the other makes that allows flexibility.

Getting the right mixture with the help of the Delphi oxygen sensor does not end there. With the right combination, the engine manages to burn fuel more efficiently, thus nothing is wasted. This will equal to the production of more horsepower. Moreover, the oxygen sensor also helps achieve an improved fuel economy.
