NGK has over 80 years of ignition expertise and remains at the forefront of technological innovation. As ignition specialists, NGK partners with OE engine manufacturers to ensure all NGK Glow Plugs meet exacting engine specific requirements. To meet strict quality benchmarks every single NGK Glow Plug is tested before being packaged and made available for sale.
Manufactured with state-of-the-art techniques, all NGK Glow Plugs ensure high quality and reliability in order to:
Every glow plug has its own unique characteristics specific to its application, and although such key elements cannot always be seen from visual inspection, usage of a generic glow plug can result in a compromise of engine performance.
Glow plugs are designed to reach their saturation temperature after a specific period of time, at a given voltage application and this temperature must be maintained for a specific period of time to provide stable combustion conditions. Diesel engine performance and toxic emissions can only be improved if the glow plug matches or exceeds the engine manufacturer’s specification.
The latest technology from NGK is the NHTC Glow Plug which was specially developed to allow vehicle manufacturers to comply with the increasingly strict global emission standards.
Based on the success of the NHTC Glow Plug design features and operation performance, the number of vehicle manufacturers that have chosen the NGK NHTC Glow Plug instead of the metal type for their production line has increased. These manufacturers include: Audi, BMW, Citroën, Ford, Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Peugeot, Renault and Volkswagen.
One reason for this trust is NGK’s superior competence in the field of technical ceramics. This enables research and development of new glow plugs for increasingly strict emissions targets and reduced engine sizes. It is this connection that drives NGK’s engineers in Japan to constantly research new materials, designs and production processes which lead to technological advancements like the NHTC Glow Plug and further innovations to come in the future.
