Our Internal Research and Development (IR&D) program helps us advance technologies that ultimately benefit clients.

We evaluate transportation systems and components for small to large engines and components. Staff members analyze, design and develop emissions and automotive components such as batteries, fuels and lubricants, and military and civilian aircraft components to meet and exceed current standards.
