DieselPowered is a small business established to provide aftermarket performance and associated services to vehicle owners who want to enhance the performance of their vehicle.

The company was started by Kristian, (currently 34 at the time of writing) who has tuned diesel engines using both mechanical and electronic means since 2007 purely as something of a hobby. Since studying IT at University, Kris left, studied electronics and embedded engineering under his own initiative and worked with diesel performance tuning full time, working for a number of tuning companies and vehicle owners on a freelance basis providing custom 1-1 tuning advice, technical guidance and bespoke solutions. The idea of DieselPowered was born.

Kristian formalised the venture in 2016/2017 and purchased a rolling road to supplement his tuning efforts, as well as investing in more equipment to facilitate the monitoring and programmable of engine control units, therefore expanding the company’s reach in terms of the types of makes and models of vehicles that can be tuned. In addition to this, Kristian also invested heavily in research and development and obtained a number of tools and information sources to help solve tuning requests and technical challenges.

“The vision for DieselPowered is not just to be another tuning company, but be the company with the internal technical expertise at a cost that is neither worryingly cheap nor prohibitively expensive that can provide a full non-generic, custom remapping and tuning service in a friendly and a approachable way. DieselPowered wants to maintain
the tuning of vehicles as a process enjoyed by both driver and tuner and fun throughout.”

The DieselPowered story does not end here – before and during COVID-19 breakout, Kristian branched out and undertook work on a contract basis in the insurance sector relating to IT security, and has continued to provide services a cybersecurity analyst since, providing another avenue of services to and expertise to the DieselPowered brand.
