ECO Driveline - An Increased Efficiency Driveline
This research creates the understanding to enable the development of high efficiency off highway drivelines. This will lower machine operating costs and significantly reduce the machinery’s environmental impact.
Our Aim
This research improves the efficiency and reduces the environmental impact of off high way machinery such as: construction, mining and agricultural equipment. To do this a team of engineers was assembled from Loughborough University, JCB and Lubrizol. The team worked together to develop technologies and strategies to reduce parasitic loss form the driveline.
