Electronically controlled gasoline injection Jetronic, 1967

In 1959, Bosch started developing an electronically controlled gasoline injection system. It took six years until the technology was ready for the market. Launched in 1967, the pressure controlled Jetronic was the world’s first large series-produced electronic gasoline injection system. It premiered in the U.S. version of the Volkswagen 1600 LE and TLE models. Thanks to the Jetronic, the VW 1600 LE and TLE were able to meet the Californian environmental standards, the toughest in the U.S. and worldwide.
