To initiate combustion, spark and glow plugs are used in petrol and diesel engines. They are connected to distributors for ideal firing time which allows spark plugs to initiate sparks at the correct firing order. They are vital components in the engine combustion process any deviation from the firing order can cause energy loss and inefficient combustion. Automotive components play a vital role in the functioning of a vehicle, the engine being the heart of the vehicle process combustion of petrol and diesel, which allows the vehicle to move forward. With heavy investment in R&D in France, the automotive component market is growing at a rapid pace.
