Ignition specialist NGK has enhanced its NTK sensors offering with the launch of 20 new wide band Lambda sensors. Commonly referred to as ‘5-wire’ Lambda sensors, these will supplement the company’s existing range of 64 NTK OE 5-wire sensors.

The launch significantly increases NTK’s range coverage, particularly for VAG models, and means that NGK now has 5-wire sensors available for almost every vehicle manufacturer who utilises this technology.  The products will be visible on MAM Software in mid-November when they will be supported by full original equipment and competitor cross-references.

News of the launch comes after the recent announcement that NGK is to introduce a range of new premium NTK camshaft and crankshaft sensors next year. A new European programme, comprising 567-part numbers covering 88 percent of the car parc was announced recently at the Automechanika Frankfurt show.

Mark Hallam, Marketing Manager, NGK Spark Plugs said, “The launch of our new NTK 5-wire sensors, which are already in stock, confirms the NTK electronics brand as the complete, one-stop shop for replacement sensors. NTK has more than 40 years’ experience in the sensor business and this is a fantastic addition to our portfolio of Lambda sensors, exhaust gas temperature sensors (EGTS), NOx sensors and Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensors and Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensors.”

Mark added, “The NTK sensors’ offering will be even stronger next year with the introduction of our new premium NTK camshaft and crankshaft sensors and is sure to prove popular with our distributors and their garage customers.”

NGK is the world’s largest manufacturer of Lambda sensors and as an OE supplier to many of the world’s leading vehicle manufacturers under the NTK brand, supplies the same components to the automotive aftermarket.
