Research & Future Technologies

Ptech are actively engaged in leading edge research and development.

  • Active engine systems such as; Variable compression ratio; Variable capacity; Variable geometry intake systems; VVT.
     

  • Alternative Fuels; LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas); CNG (Compressed Natural Gas); Hydrogen; Vegetable oil based fuels.
     

  • Hybrid Drive; Hybrid vehicles use a mixture of electric and engine propulsion; Unlimited range due to IC engine operation; More flexible than pure electric vehicle; Less pollution; Zero emissions when on battery power; IC engine runs under optimised combustion conditions; Better fuel efficiency; IC engine able to operate at near maximum efficiency.
     

  • HCCI (Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition) is seen as the next generation combustion technology, and is under research and development by most of the major OEM’s. Powertrain Technologies are at the forefront of Variable Compression (VCR) technology which is seen as the key to success of HCCI,  and thus are heavily involved in HCCI development with various OEM’s and Universities.
