Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) technology is yet to be fully incorporated into commercial cars, but Volvo has recently built a KERS-equipped S60 T5 prototype. The new Mazda 6 is making use of a system called i-ELOOP using the same technology. Jaguar plans to introduce KERS into its next XJ series... http://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/f1-innovation-the-formula-helping-you-every-day/ss-BBwj0M6#image=19
Aviva have reduced their Holding by 1.7m, maybe they can see the writing on the wall.

this morning and several £1k buys today. Somebody seems to know something.
Wish they would just get on with it. Turbo charging makes sense now. A few year from now it will all be electric.
The technology they currently have would be great if 30 years ago but unfortunately it appears no demand whatsoever and could easly see company folding, wish I was out, only me to blame, bugger.
I had a punt on these back in early 2013 and sold them at 24.83p after they had fallen back from 30p making a small profit of almost £72. Just looked at the SP today and am totally shocked at how far they have fallen. The SP over the last 5 years has seen a steady decline and is down by over 92%. If something does not change soon the better parts (if there are any) will get bought up and the company will fold.
Just been reading about VCR.(variable compression ratio) Anyone think this is coomplentory or competing tech. Infiniti looking to use vcr
I hope so. It looks like the costly restructuring and redundancy is complete an d the new toys should go on show soon. I'll be watching.
since 2011. Their website news on the KERS for busses looks like trk are there at long last!
From the way the SP has moved [EU interference excepted] the Bullish sentiments expressed here seem to fallen on deaf ears! I hope any remortgaging done is secure!!
The ETI partners includes; BP, Caterpillar, EDF, Rolls-Royce, Shell and the UK Government. This contract is the first step towards fulfilling the goal, stated by Adam Robson, in the last trading update “…we have decided to focus our resources on the two areas (off-highway KERS and V-Charge). I am optimistic about the market and the opportunities and believe we can deliver the necessary licences over the coming 12 months in these two key areas.” Now that news would boost this share, IMO.

How a Develop Agreement entered into within the Energy Technologies Institute's Heavy Vehicle's Efficiency programme is construed as a CONTRACT within the terms of 'our' expectancy, totally eludes me. It is fully funded, so investigative ie nothing supplied, nothing bought . . . . which would be the normal expectancy of a 'contract'! The CEO Robson says ' we are pleased to be selected as partners . . . so he certainly doesn't see it as a 'contract'! Nor does anyone else of importance, hence the inactive SP!
with Caterpillar, IMO See http://www.eti.co.uk/ "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdASWo7w7Iw&list=UUsKnXpygNb_hi699bvhvB_A" @ 1:20 ETI invests £3m to achieve 30% fuel consumption reduction in Heavy Duty Vehicles, partnered by Caterpillar... "The agreement has been entered into with one of the largest global manufacturers of off-highway construction and mining equipment within the Energy Technologies Institute's Heavy Duty Vehicles Efficiency programme. This fully funded programme will work to design, develop and demonstrate a high-power KERS for integration in the main drivetrain of both a large mining truck and an on-highway articulated truck."
Well thats the RNS 'Headline' . . . . . . elsewhere its a 'Development Agreement' . . another one . . this with an un-named manufacturer of offroad mining vehicles etc[and garden mowers? {:-) KERS Technology is a Kinetic Energy Recovery System and " . . recovers kinetic energy that comes from the waste heat given off by the car when barking[sic]"
No news has been released concerning dog employment or a breed. Is this the factor previously preventing contracts being signed?

but the SP still falls . . . . . . something is preventing a contract being made - what?
I agree with you, it's very interesting nevertheless what we need is a deal.
Note: these results are produced on a Ford focus, using the class leading 1.0L Ford Ecoboost engine, which already produces the power of a 1,6L engine. with V-Charge the output could equal a 2.0L engine when required, with the economy and efficiency of a 1.0L to pass strict emission tests, wots not to like! This means one engine can power all models from Fiesta to a Mondeo, with only changes to the EMS, the economies of scale could be enormous. Most other major car makers would follow suit, or be left behind, unless Ford have an exclusivity deal with Torotrak?
a commercial deal is the only thing missing from the results. However, the price of oil doesn't negate the cost advantages of V-Charge or the market need due to pending emission regs. GLA from last RNS: The successful results from the Bath study confirm the capability of V-Charge to enable more radical engine downsizing and downspeeding whilst maintaining vehicle driveability and performance. This will enable OEMs to put smaller engines in vehicles to meet the challenging post 2020/21 emissions targets and still sell vehicles that deliver the performance that customers want to buy. V-Charge enables demanding engine downsizing and downspeeding without sacrificing performance or incurring significant additional cost. V-Charge offers OEM customers the following key benefits when compared to other boosting solutions: · Uses less fuel at full load than an equivalent non-variable mechanical roots supercharger, by delivering only the air that is required · Achieves faster torque response than two-stage turbocharging, or clutched mechanical superchargers · Is much quieter in operation than mechanical superchargers, or eBoosters which use switched reluctance motors · Can produce higher peak power than equivalent eBoost systems, as the V-Charge supercharger operates continuously at low engine speeds, which means that the turbocharger can be sized for higher engine speeds only and hence optimized for peak power · Offers significant performance advantages on alternative engine cycles such as Miller / Atkinson which are being investigated by OEMs for next generation engine platforms.
Low oil price doesn't help though
now need commercial deal
