Australian engine technology company Green Diesel Corp recently exhibited at the prestigious 10th annual ‘Engine Expo’ in Stuttgart, Germany, a show renowned for showcasing the newest in powertrain concepts and components.
Green Diesel exhibited an engine fitted with the company’s revolutionary diesel fuel injection system which returns fuel consumption figures 30 pecent lower than comparable engines fitted with traditional injectors, while also delivering output gains of 30 percent.
In addition to the static engine display, company CEO Ron Kukler, presented an overview of Green Diesel’s technology to an enthusiastic audience at the show’s ‘Open Technology Forum’.
Using a two-stage hydraulic/electronic fuel delivery system creates extremely high injection pressures of 160,000 psi compared to 23,000 psi for traditional common rail injection systems.
The cleaner combustion pressure allows the locally-developed fuel injection system to dramatically decrease the harmful particulate matter (PM) emitted by diesel engines enabling these engines to meet stringent Euro and US EPA Clean Air Legislation, years ahead of schedule.
According to Mr Kukler, Green Diesel Corp was the only Australian company to exhibit at Engine Expo, and its attendance in Stuttgart had resulted in a steady stream of high level enquiry.
“We were approached by leading engineers and directors from many prominent European automotive and truck manufacturers, who where eager to learn more about our product and technology,” Mr Kukler said.
“In coming months we will look to further explore some opportunities with the contacts made through Engine Expo, while finalising several ongoing research projects at our research facilities in Australia.”
Current Green Diesel Corp projects which are well advanced include the modification, calibration and testing of a Hummer V8 engine for evaluation by the United States Armed Forces, along with a Detroit Diesel Series 60, an engine that is popular in a wide variety of heavy duty truck and machinery applications.
