ACTIVE - Advanced Combustion Turbocharged Inline Variable valvetrain Engine

ACTIVE项目是一个合作研发项目，旨在加速将先进的低碳技术引入主流汽车应用，以实现大幅减排。这是一个以英国为中心的项目，专注于开发和应用这些技术所需的工程技能，旨在提高英国在这一领域的能力。该项目将把福特的全球先进研发和一些欧洲顶级的一级供应商带到英国，与福特的达格纳姆和邓顿工程中心的工程师以及四个国家领先的汽车研究大学一起开发该项目的技术。这将进一步加强福特英国工程作为“动力总成卓越中心”在福特内部应用先进的直列动力总成技术，并提高英国大学的能力。该项目的一个关键方面是与英国供应链合作，该项目为几个参与的英国零部件和设备供应商合作伙伴提供了一个极好的机会。

The ACTIVE project is a collaborative R&D project that accelerates the introduction of advanced low carbon technologies into main stream vehicle applications targeting very substantial CO2 savings.This is a UK centred project focused on the Engineering skills needed to develop and apply these technologies and aims at increasing the UK's capabilities in this area. The project will bring Ford's Global Advanced R&D and some of Europe's top Tier 1 suppliers to the UK to develop the technologies for this project alongside the engineers at Ford's Dagenham and Dunton Engineering Centres and four of the countries leading automotive research Universities. This will strengthen further Ford UK engineering as the "Centre of Powertrain Excellence" for the application of advanced inline powertrain technologies within Ford and increase the capabilities within the UK's Universities.A key aspect of the project is to engage with the UK supply chain and this project presents an excellent opportunity for several participating UK based component and equipment supplier partners.
