High-tech Glow Plugs for Light Vehicles
Two- and Three-Phase Technologies find an adequate, durable and green solution with the BERU® High-tech Glow Plug range (types GE, GN, GV) especially designed and manufactured to meet the needs of older generations or modern diesel engines.


A match for 2- and 3-Phase technologies
3-Phase Technology High-tech BERU® Glow Plugs for modern diesel engines (Types GE & GN)

Car manufacturers worldwide are opting for the innovative three-phase glow technology making the starting operation quick, reliable and green. BERU® 3-phase glow plugs are available in both the GE and GN type.
Description of 3-Phase Technology:
- Phase 1: Pre-heating initiated when ignition starts;
- Phase 2: Heating during starting;
- Phase 3: Post-heating - the glow plugs continue to be heated for approx. 3 minutes after the engine is started.
Advantages of 3-Phase Technology:
- Diesel fuel burnt more fully and with less noise;
- Clouding of the exhaust gas is reduced by up to 40%.
GE and GN glow plugs in 2-coil technology are fitted with a heating coil designed to maintain the optimal heating temperature and a regulator coil that effectively protects the glow plug from overheating, thereby making these BERU® diesel car glow plugs reliable and durable.
GE glow plugs are performance-optimised. They are the controlled glow plug used in engines of the latest generations, featuring a programmable microcontroller in the glow time control unit to flawlessly control the starting operation.

The BERU® Glow Plug range types GE & GN features:
- Quick start glow plugs in new, slim shape;
- Short pre-heating time: from 2 seconds;
- Reliable starting (even at -30 °C!);
- Can be used for post-heating, as a result environmentally friendly: up to 40% less pollutant emissions during the warm up phase;
- No more cold start knocking;
- Quiet engine running;
- Protects the engine during starting.
2-Phase Technology Glow Plugs for older generation diesel engines (Type GV)

BERU® engineers and manufactures quality, dependable car glow plugs for older generation diesel engine with one goal in mind: meet the pre-heating and heating performance requirements of older diesel engines.
The BERU® Diesel Engine car Glow Plug (type GV) features:
- Reliable cold starting;
- Pre-heating time: 5-7 seconds;
- Sheathed glow plug in 2-coil technology.
