Eminox and Magnomatics collaborate on CO2 emissions reduction from passenger transport
By Jim Gibbins - 1st December 2020
UK – Gainsborough-based emissions control specialist, Eminox Ltd is entering a project with Sheffield-based magnetic drive components manufacturer, Magnomatics to enable passenger transport vehicles to reduce their environmental impact when in operation. Funded by an Innovate UK grant of almost GBP300,000, the Vaircon project aims to reduce the environmental impact of passenger transport vehicles through mild hybridisation to reduce CO2 emissions and lower fuel consumption.
Combining Eminox’s skills in integrating emissions reducing technology and Magnomatics’ Magsplit* electromagnetically controlled continuously variable transmission, the project aims to enable passenger transport vehicles to run air conditioning systems without the engine on. The partnership will develop this new solution by tailoring the technology to meet the exact requirements of each vehicle type. Once created, tested, and proven, it is expected to be manufactured in the UK.
