THE Welsh Ambulance Service has been shortlisted for a respected national award. The Trust is a finalist in the Innovation, Science and Technology category at the St David Awards 2021 for its research and work into the rapid sanitisation of emergency ambulances during the Covid-19 pandemic in partnership with the Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI). Jonathan Turnbull-Ross, Assistant Director of Quality Governance at the Welsh Ambulance Service, said: “At the early stage of the Covid-19 pandemic, less was known about the virus, including how to effectively sanitise environments which had been exposed to it. “Whilst sanitisation and decontamination products were available, testing of their efficacy, specifically against Covid-19 was not widely established.
(Libertine) Libertine FPE (“Libertine”), the creator of Smart Engine technology for hybrid electric vehicles and distributed power generation, has demonstrated technology that could help leading truck manufacturers to fulfil pledges to make all heavy-duty vehicles fossil free by 2040.
With Libertine’s technology, hybrid heavy-duty powertrains using a combination of renewable grid power and renewable bioethanol fuel could offer OEMs a practical, cost effective solution to help achieve this vital transition to sustainable fuels and ‘net-zero’ (carbon neutrality).
The project, supported by a grant from the UK Government’s Sustainable Innovation Fund, has shown how a ‘Free Piston’ engine can achieve an improvement in cold start performance using bioethanol by briefly increasing the compression ratio at startup, compensating for chamber wall cooling effects that contribute to misfiring under cold start conditions.
