Aluminium pistons for passenger car gasoline engines
Reduced fuel consumption and climate-friendly CO2 values found in our aluminium gasoline engine pistons, together with their low weight and durability, will leave you impressed.
Kolbenschmidt develops its pistons for reduced friction and weight, designing them to meet your specific requirements. Individually and precisely.

LITEKS Piston concept
Less friction and weight coupled with long service life and good acoustic performance. Since 2006, Kolbenschmidt has optimized these properties with its LiteKS piston concept for gasoline engines - now in the fourth generation - with success: 120 million innovative pistons have already left the assembly line and they can be equipped with a range of add-on technologies such as a cooling channel for improved thermal properties and a ring carrier for higher mechanical loading.
This lets us respond flexibly to your engine’s specific limiting conditions and tailor the piston to meet these specific requirements, resulting in up to 1.7% less fuel consumption by the entire engine.
