SOUTHFIELD, Mich. – Intelligent power management company Eaton today announced it has launched its next-generation fuel tank isolation valve (FTIV) for hybrid vehicles. The new FTIV^® is easier to mount, 27% lighter, 39% smaller and contains 24% fewer components than its predecessor.

The gas engine in a hybrid vehicle does not operate continuously. As a result, hybrid fuel systems require special measures to address evaporative emissions that accumulate when the gas engine is not in operation. 

Eaton has agreements to supply its next-generation FTIV to two global automotive customers and has drawn interest from other manufacturers.
