SMP580 press release

Barometric pressure sensor for ambient pressure and temperature measurement

Bosch sensor helps engine management systems reduce fuel consumption and emissions.

The SMP580 detects the current ambient pressure, which depends on the height above sea level and the weather conditions. Based on the measurement data, the engine management system can supply the combustion engine with the optimum air-fuel mixture – no matter how high above sea level the vehicle is moving. As a result, efficiency is improved and consumption is reduced.
