We
have over 12 years of experience working on advanced projects using compression
ignition engines; including feedgas, aftertreatment, boost system, EGR system,
alternative fuels, and fuel system work. In that time, we have worked on site at
most of the well known engine development facilities in the world.
For a partial list of organizations we have been fortunate to work with or
out of in the past, please click here.
Below is a partial list of some of
the exciting projects we are proud to have contributed to in the past:
