A gasoline engine needs three things: air, fuel, and a spark. The spark plug ignites the air/fuel mixture, producing the combustion that powers the engine. It plays a major role in fuel economy; clean, efficient combustion; and the reliable operation of engines and catalytic converters. A typical spark plug will spark up to 100 times per second, or more than 200 million sparks over its useful life.

In addition to spark plugs, BERU Systems offers complete ignition systems combining ignition coils, ignition modules, condensers, ignition cables and connectors.
