Globally, societies face challenges around energy production and the environmental impacts that entails. clean generation of power is key to meeting environmental imperatives and Pulse-R seeks to address that dilemma. In much of the world access to any power is limited. A low cost power solution, perhaps relying on bio-gas could meet that need.
OakTec has developed the Pulse-R multi-gas-fuelled 4-stroke engine. It is based on a new cylinder head and combustion chamber technology that enables gaseous fuels, including LPG, CNG and biogas, to be burned efficiently to give maximum benefit in power, fuel efficiency and emissions, providing a reliable, versatile powertrain. Pulse-R is ideally suited to power equipment, electricity generation, low cost and hybrid vehicles and industrial applications. It is optimised for manufacturers of fixed and mobile-powered equipment, who target equipment operators in cost conscious and environmentally sensitive industries and regions.
The objectives of this Pulse-R innovation project as a whole are to create an exploitation roadmap to take the single cylinder Pulse-R multi-gas engine from TRL6 toearly stage manufacture and market entry and to generate a full business plan to enable this. This Phase 1 report considers various market and competitive analysis factors and details an exploitation path. As such, this report forms the basis of an effective business plan to enable OakTec to grow and successfully commercialise the Pulse-R engine and to grow the business and expand the product range.
