Dearman engine receives further funding

UK: The consortium, led by Dearman, developing zero-emission transport refrigeration has been awarded £6m by the Advanced Propulsion Centre.

The project brings together Dearman, Hubbard Products, Air Products, Productiv, Wessington Cryogenics and Loughborough University, who will each bring their own expertise to the development, manufacturing and commercialisation of the technology. Government funding will be matched by the consortium, bringing the total investment in the zero emission technology to £15.5m.

The Advanced Propulsion Centre is a private limited company formed in 2013 from a commitment between the government and automotive industry to position the UK as a global centre of excellence for low carbon powertrain development and production.
