        • coating of all cylinder faces with bore diameters from 70 to 150 mm
        • reduced fuel and oil consumption thanks to 50 % lower friction coefficients between piston and cylinder
        • size and weight saving with the motor: more compact crankcase design due to the absence of cast iron bushings and shorter distance between the cylinder bores
        • coating with the HELLER CBC 200 coating module
        • CBC process integrated into every large series production facility – as a bypass solution or a complete process from HELLER
