Ricardo and Clean Air Power unveil dual-fuel engine concept award

Clean Air Power has announced the award of a funded concept development agreement with a global truck manufacturer, under which it will work with Ricardo to develop a dual-fuel engine for a South East Asian Market.

The purpose of the development programme is to use Clean Air Power's Dual-Fuel combustion technology to deliver an advanced dual-fuel engine that not only achieves its emissions objective but also reduces the extent of emissions after-treatment required by the base diesel engine.

Subject to a successful concept phase, expected to last six months, the agreement will then enter a second stage to bring the advanced dual-fuel engine to start of production.

"It is a pleasure to be announcing a concept study so quickly after entering the cooperation agreement with Ricardo," commented Clean Air Power CEO John Pettit. "This is a very exciting but challenging program which highlights the interest in our technology in major world markets including Asia."
