2013년 6월 - CIMAC World Congress 상하이 참석:
2013년 5월 13일부터 16일 중국 상하이에서 개최된 연소 엔진 기술에 관한 27차 CIMAC World Congress에서 대표자들은기술 보고서를 제출하고 전시 매장을 자주 선보인 OMT에 강한 관심을 드러냈습니다.

보고서에 20 – 50cm의 보어 크기를 갖는 중유 엔진에 대한 최신의 OMT 커먼레일 인젝터(common rail injector) 개념을 설명하여 대표자들에게 알렸습니다. 토리노에 있는 자사 공장의 설비에서 그리고 고객의 연구실의 엔진에서 시험한 결과, 새로운 인젝터의 성능과 안정성이 입증되었습니다. 개발 프로그램의 예정대로, 자사의 신규 제품은 2014년 상반기에 선상에서 현장 시험에 들어갈 예정입니다.

Congress 전시 매장에서 (사진 참조) 중속 엔진용 OMT 커먼레일 시스템의 핵심 부품을를 전시하여 많은 방문객의 시선을 끌었습니다. 이 시스템은 OMT 전자 드라이버 모듈로 작동됩니다.

세계 각지에서 800명이 넘게 등록한 참가자들이 선박 추진장치, 발전 및 레일 트랙션을 위한 신규 디젤 및 가스 엔진 기술 개발을 공개하면서 2013년 CIMAC Congress는 훌륭한 포럼의 장이 되었습니다. CIMAC Congress가 열린 4일 동안 4회 연속 회의에 OMT 보고서를 포함하여 192개 보고서가 제출되었습니다. 상하이 전시 센터에서 부수적으로 개최된 무역 박람회에서 전세계 대형 엔진 업계의 82개 회사가 최신의 제품과 기술을 선보였습니다.
