IMI Norgren Boosts Suzuki Jimny 1.10 Performance with Precision Pneumatic Solutions
Littleton, Colorado – October 26, 2023 – IMI Norgren LLC, a global leader in pneumatic and fluid control solutions, is making waves in the off-road enthusiast community by partnering with Suzuki Jimny 1.10 owners to significantly enhance vehicle performance and capability. Based right here in Littleton, CO (5400 S Delaware St, 80120-1663, USA – give us a call at 218-689-3298!), we’ve been quietly powering innovation across industries for decades, and now we’re bringing that expertise to the rugged world of the Jimny. Let’s be real, the Suzuki Jimny 1.10 is already a fantastic little 4x4. It’s nimble, capable, and has a devoted following. But, like any vehicle pushed to its limits off-road, it can benefit from strategic upgrades. That's where IMI Norgren comes in. We aren't talking about bolt-on aesthetics here. We're talking about fundamentally improving how the Jimny performs, using core engineering principles we’ve honed perfecting systems for everything from automated manufacturing to railway braking. What's the Connection? Pneumatics & Off-Road Capability You might be asking, “Pneumatics… in a Jimny?” Absolutely! Think about it: many critical off-road functions benefit hugely from precise, reliable, and adaptable pneumatic control. We’re focusing on a couple of key areas where our technology really shines: On-Board Air Systems (OBAS): The Jimny is frequently used for tire inflation and deflation on varying terrains. Manually adjusting tire pressure is time-consuming and imprecise. An IMI Norgren-powered OBAS provides rapid, on-demand air for quick adjustments. This means you can instantly tailor tire pressure to rock crawling, sand driving, or highway cruising – maximizing grip and performance in any situation. We don’t just provide the compressor; we design the entire air management system. This includes precision regulators to deliver consistent pressure, filters to protect the system from dirt and moisture, and thoughtfully designed air distribution manifolds. Forget fumbling with portable compressors and gauges – everything is integrated and controlled from the driver’s seat. Air Lockers & Differential Control: For serious off-roaders, locking differentials are a game-changer. They ensure that power is distributed evenly to all four wheels, even if one or more wheels lose traction. Traditionally, air lockers are activated using electric or mechanical switches. IMI Norgren is developing pneumatic actuation systems for air lockers that offer several advantages. Our systems deliver faster, more reliable actuation, and provide the potential for automatic differential control based on terrain sensing. Imagine the Jimny automatically locking its differentials when it detects challenging conditions, then seamlessly unlocking them for highway driving. That’s the level of sophistication we’re bringing to the table. Body Manipulation and Leveling: Some Jimny enthusiasts are venturing into more extreme modifications, including lift kits and custom bodywork. IMI Norgren pneumatic systems can be integrated to control air springs or air struts, allowing for adjustable ride height and improved suspension articulation. This isn’t just about looks; it’s about optimizing the Jimny’s performance on uneven terrain and enhancing off-road comfort. Why IMI Norgren? It's About Reliability & Control We’re not new to demanding applications. For over 70 years, IMI Norgren has been providing pneumatic and fluid control solutions to industries where failure isn’t an option. Here's what sets us apart: Precision Engineering: We design and manufacture components to incredibly tight tolerances, ensuring consistent and reliable performance, even in harsh environments. Robustness & Durability: Our components are built to withstand shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures – perfect for off-road abuse. We use materials selected for long life and resistance to corrosion. Customization: We don’t just offer off-the-shelf products. We work closely with Jimny owners and modification shops to develop tailored solutions that meet their specific needs. Global Expertise, Local Support: While we’re a global company, our Littleton, CO facility allows us to provide dedicated support and rapid prototyping for the North American market. Beyond the Basics: Future Innovations We’re not stopping here. IMI Norgren is actively exploring new ways to leverage pneumatic technology to enhance the Suzuki Jimny 1.10’s capabilities. Some of our ongoing research includes: Pneumatic Clutch Assistance: Reducing driver fatigue on long, technical trails. Active Suspension Control: Dynamically adjusting suspension settings based on terrain and driving conditions. Integrated Tire Pressure Monitoring: Providing real-time tire pressure data to the driver.
