Research & Development

Custom-made applications

Athena supports its customers during all phases

of design and development of electronic fuel injection

systems, by performing calibration on static and dynamic

benches, climatic chamber and endurance tests by using

specific equipments.

Once the testing and development are performed,

Athena assists the customer during the approval phase

of the vehicle according to the relevant regulations.

The overview of an entire project is often the main

factor of its success. Already during the project phase, the

identification of the cost is a key success factor. Athena

assists its customers during the design of electronic and

mechanical parts of the application, respecting the cost

estimation and manufacturing lead times that have been

commonly agreed. The flexibility of hardware and firmware

solutions provides the customers with fast customized

applications and guides them in all development phases up

to mass production.

Athena offers Hi-Tech & Hi-Performance solutions

as well as complete electronic systems for low cost OEM

application typical of emerging markets.

ECU (Engine Control Unit)

Athena produces a complete range of ECU (Engine Control Unit) for engines of one to

six-cylinder with electronic fuel injection. The product range developed by Athena meets the

characteristics of complex and latest generation systems as well as those of lowcost destined to

emerging markets. The currently available product line is developed and ready to use for a great

variety of applications. However Athena’s strength lies also in the possibility to adapt existing

ECU’s to specific customers requirements, in a short time and cost effectively. All ECU’s are also

suited to CNG or LPG Monofuel projects.
