Converting conventionally fuelled vehicles to run on cheaper and more sustainable fuel alternatives like Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) has the ability to make an immediate-to-medium-term impact towards creating cities with minimum emissions. This requires modifying the fuel injection system to use the alternative fuels via a conversion kit. Unfortunately adoption rates are not as high as would be hoped to acheive the benefits this mature technology offers. This is due, in part, to the high cost of the conversions; upto 15% of the new vehicle's value. This is because the time required to do the installation and the high cost of labour. At Rail, we have identified this and envisaged a novel approach to conversion kits manufacture. Designing a system optimised for installation, we have developed a patented an innovation that halve installation time, reducing the acquisition cost of conversion by 50%. Our solution, InjectoReducer, provides an enabling technology towards meeting the rule requirement for Euro 4-6 Regulation Compliance. It offers reduced installation costs, increased energy efficiency, reduced emissions, increased ease and speed of installation as well as servicing. As such, InjectoReducer has been developed in line with Europe's transport and mobility goals for the year 2050. Our solution will be an enabling innovation towards ridding cities of conventionally-fuelled cars in cities as well as reducing 60% of transport emissions by the middle of the century. The objective of this project is to prepare a range of industrially ready InjectoReducer variants for LPG and CNG, for 1-2 cylinder and 3-4 cylinder engines, in the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Aftermarket fitment market, which will be distributed through our growing, global distribution network.
