Engine and Vehicle R&D Capabilities
The Engine and Vehicle R&D Department conducts engine development on all forms of internal combustion and stirling engines using a variety of fuels. Engine development programs are supported by software development and combustion and fuel mixing modeling and research. These programs use specially developed instrumentation, control systems, and data acquisition systems. In addition, engine mapping and reliability and durability testing of engines or components are conducted.
