OUR HISTORY

Back in the early 2000s, while pushing the limits of automotive development at the world’s biggest OEMs, Lars Wahlmann, founder of Auto Upgrades, noticed the obsession with passing drive cycle emissions tests led to car calibrations that aced the tests but flunked in the real world.

The software tools used in the calibration of the maps that control things such as fuel injection, ignition timing, and boost pressure had features to make identification of where on the maps the ECU had been running during the testing and only those zones got the precision treatment to meet the regulatory emission standards.

Thanks to the way emissions laws are written, cars behave one way during an emissions drive cycle and another way entirely outside of it. The problem is when transitioning from one mode of operation to another it is impossible to keep the emissions to a minimum, it is equally detrimental to fuel economy and driveability.

The bottom line? OEMs, driven by emissions rules and cutthroat competition, have calibrated cars that are underperforming on emissions, fuel economy, and overall performance. Auto Upgrades, on the other hand, envisions a world where cars are tuned for maximum performance, killer driveability, top-notch fuel efficiency, and real-world emissions that actually make a difference.
