Recent Projects:
Karl I. Racenis, P.E. (Kettering University/GMI) founded Digineering, Inc. in 1996 to help advance drivetrain technology to an increasingly electronic and digital world. This approach evolved through consulting experience as Program Manager at Roush Technologies and partner at Automotive Concepts Technology. Design engineering experience at General Motors with the Chevrolet Astro 2.5 liter engine application, a radically improved Corvette accelerator design, and manual transaxle upgrades to high-torque, fuel-injected engines provided a solid foundation of drivetrain technology and vehicle program know-how.
