Perkins in partnership to develop multi-fuel ‘drop-in’ hybrid engine

Engine manufacturer Perkins is developing a new type of multi-fuel engine that can be ‘dropped in’ to directly replace its diesel equivalent in terms of power density and response.

Perkins is collaborating with UK-based engineering specialist Equipmake and Loughborough University’s Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering School on the initiative, called Project Coeus.
