Dearman to offer nitrogen-fuelled engine for auxiliary power in electric buses
By Jim Gibbins - 1st April 2019
UK - The Dearman Engine Co Ltd of Croydon is proposing to develop its liquid nitrogen-powered emission-free engine as an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) for applications in the electric bus market - providing a way to increase range and offer operators a combination of efficient clean cooling, power and cost-effective enhancement to a vehicle’s systems.
With low emission electric bus (e-bus) sales estimated to grow globally by up-to four times and China leading this growth – where targets are to convert 50% of its fleet to e-bus – low emission buses have become part of the main OEMs development strategy and with Dearman technology working alongside offering efficiency improvements there is a potential for real technology enhancements and environmental benefits.
