UK based clean technology developer Lontra has today released detailed performance results of the innovative Blade Supercharger™. The results are available following the conclusion of a development project supported by the UK’s Technology Strategy Board, in partnership with Ford Motor Company and Ricardo.

The detailed data set shows how the Blade Supercharger™ is able uniquely to deliver the pressure and flow required for downsized engines. It details the analysis models and development history of the technology, the design and packaging of the supercharger, and the future steps towards product development. The company is in discussions with potential development and manufacturing partners for the supercharger. The full report is available to download from the Blade Supercharger™ page on our website.

Simon Hombersley, Lontra’s Business Development Director: "We’re thrilled with the results of the development work to date, which clearly demonstrate the potential of the Blade Supercharger™ to meet the boosting requirements of heavily downsized engines. We look forward to concluding discussions with industry partners as we move from concept to manufactured product."

The Lontra team will be available to discuss the performance results at a webinar on Wednesday 13 July 2011, at 15:00 GMT (10:00 EDT). To register for the webinar, email simon.hombersley@lontra.co.uk
