Research grant
Clean Air Power (AIM: CAP), the developer and global leader in
dual-fuel engine management software for heavy duty vehicles, is
pleased to announce the start of a 2-year funded research project
with Brunel University.
Brunel is one of the UK's leading universities with a
world-class reputation in applied research and cooperation with
industrial partners on internal combustion engines and their fuels.
The research project has attracted funding from the UK Government's
Technology Strategy Board under its Knowledge Transfer Partnership
(KTP) scheme. The KTP ensures that the research delivers tangible
benefits to Clean Air Power's advanced product development
programmes.
The research project is aimed at developing the next generation
of advanced Dual-Fuel combustion systems using natural gas and
diesel. The project is to be carried out on a modern research heavy
duty engine at Brunel University's Centre for Advanced Powertrains
and Fuels.
This research project will deliver understanding of advanced
diesel-gas combustion mechanisms and pioneer the next generation of
Dual-Fuel technology that will meet the stringent demands of
European and US emissions regulations whilst delivering a practical
low-carbon pathway for heavy-duty transportation. The award of the
project funding by the TSB is further evidence that the UK
Government continues to identify and support low-carbon vehicle
technology.
John Pettitt, Chief Executive of Clean Air Power said, "We are
delighted that once again, Clean Air Power's Dual-Fuel technology
has been recognized for its strong low-carbon benefits to the
transport sector and we are very excited about the contribution
that this research project will make to our advanced engineering
programs and to the overall understanding of this unique internal
combustion engine technology".
