Stage V Exhaust Emission Certified Diesel Engines for Marine and Hazardous Area Applications

柴油发动机的排放由于各种错误的原因已经成为头条新闻好几年了。新的法规要求在公路和非公路市场的所有应用中开发更清洁、更高效的柴油发动机，现在要求发动机配备后处理，以进一步减少有害排放。由于本项目中解决的几个技术挑战，有两个市场尚未采用该技术。主要的原始设备制造商还没有开发这项技术，因为他们没有看到市场的全部潜力，或者看不到进行这项开发所需的投资回报。这两个市场是第五阶段船用发动机和第五阶段危险区域发动机。欧盟法规2016/1628要求所有设计用于内陆水道（湖泊，运河和河流）的新船和改装船都必须符合第五阶段标准。然而，目前在我们的发动机平台尺寸中没有带后处理的V级发动机。我们的项目是生产一系列符合船舶分类法规的发动机，以便船舶可以使用更清洁的Stage-V发动机建造或重新提供动力，以满足英国和欧盟市场的内陆水道法规，同时符合或超过其他全球法规，如美国EPA。危险区域应用使用未经后处理的发动机，因此不符合当前的排放法规。设备制造商表示，发动机技术无法使他们的设备达到V级排放所需的危险标准。我们可以与英国制造商合作开发并将这些发动机推向市场，沿着我们的内部知识，专业知识和测试设施，为该项目开发和改造技术。这两个市场都面临着一些非常相似但又不同的复杂技术挑战，使它们适合共同努力，以最大限度地提高投资回报，并使英国在该技术方面处于领先地位。英国在这些市场仍然非常活跃。危险的发动机应用出口到世界各地的几个英国OEM的。我们预计到第2-3年的销售额将达到800万英镑，英国的销售和出口强劲。我们将在英国工厂生产这些捐赠发动机。这些销售将为当地提供技术工作，并支持我们英国供应链的制造业和创新增长。同时减少这些应用的废气排放并改善空气质量。

The emissions from diesel engines have been in the headlines for some years for all the wrong reasons. New regulations have seen the development of cleaner and more efficient diesel engines in all applications for on-road and off-road markets, which now require the engine to be fitted with aftertreatment that reduces harmful emissions even more.There are two markets where this technology has not been adopted due to several technical challenges addressed in this project. The major OEM's have not developed the technology as they do not see the full potential of the market or cannot see the return on investment required to undertake this development.The two markets are Stage-V Marine and Stage-V Hazardous area engines.The EU Regulation 2016/1628 requires all new and re-powered vessels designed to work on Inland Waterways, (lakes, canals and rivers) to be Stage-V compliant. However, there are no Stage-V engines with aftertreatment available today in our engine platform sizes. Our project is to produce a range of engines that comply with the marine classification regulations so that vessels can be built or re-powered with cleaner Stage-V engines to meet the Inland Waterway Regulations for the UK and EU markets, while complying with or exceeding other worldwide regulations like USA's EPA.The Hazardous area applications are using engines without aftertreatment and so do not comply with current emission regulations. Equipment manufacturers state that the engine technology is not available for them to build their equipment to the required hazardous standard at Stage-V emissions. We can develop and bring these engines to market working with UK manufacturers to develop and adapt technology for this project along with our in-house knowledge, expertise and testing facilities.These two markets both face some complex technical challenges which are very similar yet different, making them suitable to work on together to maximize the return on investment and to give the UK a leading edge in this technology. The UK is still very active in these markets. Hazardous engine applications are exported worldwide by several UK OEM's. We are projecting sales of £8 million by year 2-3, with strong UK sales and exports. We will produce these engines from donor engines in our UK facility. These sales will provide skilled jobs for the local area, and support growth in manufacturing and innovation for our UK supply chain. While reducing the exhaust emissions from these applications and improving air quality.
