Engine Based Driveline Disconnect for Downsizing

卡特彼勒英国发动机有限公司与同心伯明翰有限公司和拉夫堡大学合作，将启动一项为期24个月的发动机和传动系断开研究计划，以实现发动机小型化和停止启动技术。该研究项目计划于2015年年中启动，由英国政府的Innovate UK提供599，168英镑的赠款，并补充了TSB（现为Innovate UK）共同资助的先前项目。研究计划将在彼得伯勒、伯明翰和拉夫堡的联合体成员设施中进行。

Caterpillar UK Engines Company Ltd in partnership with Concentric Birmingham Ltd and Loughborough University will launch a 24 month program of research into engine and driveline disconnection to enable engine downsizing and stop-start technology. This research project, scheduled to start mid 2015, is enabled by an £599,168 grant from the UK government’s Innovate UK and complements previous projects co-funded by the TSB (now Innovate UK). The programme of research will be performed across the consortium members' facilities in Peterborough, Birmingham and Loughborough.
