Main areas of involvement in the low carbon transport agenda

GTR is a design company that addresses the inherent inefficiencies of the 4-stroke engine, namely valve overlap. The EPMS is a temporary solution that achieves the effect of being, in layman’s terms, a retrofit VVT system with a low manufacturing cost. It reduces harmful emissions by 70% & fuel efficiency increases of between 5-30% depending on the age & configuration of the engine; its only drawback is its limited reduction of CO2 with engines fitted with catalytic converters [around 4%] as they are designed so as to emit CO2.

To compliment the EPMS, which works on the exhaust side, the company developed the VOC/ov, a retrofit system that captures and recycles evaporative emissions and this is attached to the inlet side.

Our longer term solution to going beyond the mechanical limits that a fixed VVT system faces is the PowerMax 3, a complete engine design that operates at all times with no valve overlap and features 3 power strokes. This is basically achieved by combining a super charger with a super exhauster at the inlet and exhaust manifolds respectively. It has been designed to run on all fuels from the lowest grade through to hydrogen, without the need for modification

Current or future activities / projects / initiatives in which Geo-Tech Resources Ltd and Gentech Design Ltd. is involved in to encourage low carbon transport.

The company has been focusing its efforts on trying to work with the industry & international NGO’s so that the efficiency and emissions of the current global stock of vehicles can be addressed by making use of the EPMS. Being universally applicable to all 4-stroke engines, it has the added benefit of allowing all existing vehicles/engines to run on bio fuel with further modification and hence speed up bio fuel use. If we solely rely on the output of new FFV’s, it will be more than 25 years until all vehicles will be able to use bio fuels in richer nations while poorer nations may never be able to take advantage. This is of especially important if the uptake of bio-ethanol proceeds. It is viewed as disruptive technology & we are finding it difficult to explain that our target market is totally untapped and so could be complimentary to the industry. We will be sending out a collaboration proposal to members of the LowCvp in the near future to see if any of the partnership members wish to join us in tackling a major area that appears to have been totally overlooked.
