Clean Propulsion Technologies (final seminar, online)

The Clean Propulsion Technologies project is organising an open final seminar 22.11.2023 10-17 (EET) via Zoom. You're welcome to hear the main results of the project from the perspective of both research organisations and companies, and to hear the experts' views on what's next in the field of clean propulsion technologies. Please register for the event using the link below. You will receive the Zoom link in the confirmation email.

The common goal of the Clean Propulsion Technologies (2021-2023) project consortium is to secure the position of global technology leadership position of the Finnish powertrain industry by creating a common vision and sustainable business solutions. The project's high-impact demonstrators include an ultra-clean RCCI medium-speed marine engine and a zero-carbon hydrogen off-road engine platform. These are complemented by new aftertreatment solutions, and the system-level focus is underlined by an innovative hybrid working machine prototype. The project is co-funded by Business Finland and coordinated by the University of Vaasa.

You can get a glimpse of all these innovative solutions by attending the final Clean Propulsion Technologies review meeting!
