Jaguar and Lotus have today announced they have set up a joint collaboration to explore new engine technology for Bio Fuels.
The Project, known internally as 'Omnivore' as a reference to the ability to consume anything, has been created to focus on improving fuel efficiency through the use of newly emerging renewable types of fuel. Jaguar and Lotus will work with Queens university Belfast, whose engineering department are experts in engine simulation, to produce 'A single-cylinder research engine, aimed at achieving higher thermal efficiency through a variable compression ratio system with a two-stroke operating cycle with direct fuel injection.'
Mike Kimberley, Chief Executive Officer of Group Lotus Plc said, “We are also working on all aspects of future fuels, investigating alternative powertrains to accommodate alcohol fuels as they enter the market. Taking full advantage of the benefits of sustainable bio-alcohols will ensure a greater percentage of vehicle miles will be travelled using renewable fuels.”
Lotus has already released the Exige 270E Tri Fuel concept earlier in the year, whilst Jaguar has also committed itself to explore further hybrid technologies with Land Rover, which Tata management have pushed ahead as a priority with rising oil prices and green pressure mounting on 4x4 drivers.
