The combustion engine has been with us for over 140 years and is the ubiquitous power source for transport and mobile applications. With over 150 million combustion engines sold globally annually it is a huge and diverse sector.
Carbon emissions and pollution from the internal combustion engine is a global problem that requires a global solution.
The heavy engine sector is recognised as the hardest to influence and de-carbonise.
We are initially targeting the heavy goods vehicle sector because of the high emissions footprint. (in the UK HGVs comprise 4% of road traffic yet contribute 18% of the emissions).
Battery, or hydrogen heavy vehicles are available now, but have limited usage profiles where they are economically viable.
The electric engine represents a complimentary solution to these technologies that is available in the near term with the potential to make a global impact on Carbon emissions and pollution.
