Actually, most of them rely on third party suppliers to develop and produce these new high pressure injectors. Far as I know, though, only Nissan is looking at next generation traditional port injection with their dual injector direct-indirect set-up.
The field is small enough, I suppose, that one could break into it with a new product that delivered results without much additional cost, but
But two things ring alarm bells. The claim that "nobody else is doing it", because other companies and OEMs do perform research on nozzle tip geometry... and the claim of 60% efficiency being possible (but then again, he seems to be speaking of what is coming way down the road).
Will have to wait and see what advantages this confers when more is revealed. Direct injection may be the near future, but if there's a way to do away with the expensive high pressure fuel system, all the better.
