Independent test results confirm Torotrak V-Charge variable drive mechanical supercharger enables next generation engine downsizing and right sizing

1.0-litre GTDI engine equipped with a V-Charge system matches the performance of a 1.5-litre unit, with driveability improved; demonstrator vehicle to commence programme of visits for test drives to pan-European vehicle manufacturers and Tier One suppliers, following debut at 2016 Aachen Colloquium.10th October 2016. Independent on-engine test results have verified the simulation predictions that a V-Charge variable drive mechanical supercharger enables more ambitious levels of engine downsizing. Compared to a current 1.5L GTDI engine producing an impressive 240 Nm torque – a 1.0L GTDI

Torotrak Group demonstrates CO2-reducing solutions at Low Carbon Vehicle event

Torotrak Group will be exhibiting, presenting and demonstrating its V-Charge and Flybrid technologies on passenger and commercial vehicles at Cenex-LCV2016.12 Sept 2016...Torotrak Group will be exhibiting its technology at the UK’s premier low carbon vehicle event, Cenex-LCV2016, held at Millbrook on 14th & 15th September. LCV attendees will be transported to the entrance by a Wrightbus StreetLite bus equipped with the Flybrid Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS). Torotrak Group will also exhibit a Ford Focus 1.0L EcoBoost fitted with V-Charge, which sets new standards for downsized engine

Torotrak to present extreme engine downsizing solution at Dresden supercharging conference

V-Charge system with mechanical variable drive outperforms conventional boosting methods on downsized gasoline engine08 September 2016...At the 21st Supercharging Conference in Dresden on 15/16 September, Torotrak Group will present results from engine testing that verify previous claims for V-Charge, a variable drive mechanical supercharger. In comparison with the incumbent fixed ratio positive displacement supercharger on a 1.0L GTDI engine, V-Charge achieved improved BSFC (brake specific fuel consumption), better transient performance and a maximum BMEP (brake mean effective pressure) of

Torotrak wins prestigious SMMT Award for Automotive Innovation

Automotive industry leaders select Flybrid® affordable hybridisation technology as this year’s winning ‘UK innovation with the potential to make a difference’.The 2014 SMMT Award for Automotive Innovation has been won by Torotrak plc (LSE: TRK) for its Flybrid mechanical flywheel hybrid system. The award, supported by GKN and The Times, recognises UK-developed automotive technologies that have ‘the potential to leave a lasting impression on the whole automotive industry for years to come.’ Torotrak’s technology joins a long list of prestigious winners that include Ford for its heavily

Flybrid bus KERS technology fitted to first customer bus ready for start of public service trials

Validated simulation model allows operators to calculate benefitsWrightbus exhibits Flybrid application at Low Carbon Vehicle (LCV) exhibitionA new technology that could slash bus operators’ fuel bills by up to 15 percent is to progress to public service trials. Following a successful validation programme, the new Flybrid bus KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System), developed by Torotrak PLC (LSE: TRK) will enter service with Arriva in the autumn. “We believe this is going to be the most cost-effective bus hybrid technology on the market,” claims Torotrak CEO Jeremy Deering, “Because the
