This important agreement solidifies a relationship started in 2017 and helps secure jobs in the UK marine industry.
Head of Team Britannia, ocean racing legend, Dr Alan Priddy commented: “This is an exciting day for everyone including our amazing crew and commercial partners and our worldwide official distributor Maktec Marine.The marine engine specialists who provide a dedicated sales team for the fuel and ongoing advice from their years of experience in this sector.
“Today we can announce that following extensive real-world testing of a number of emulsion variants, we have selected Clean Fuels Hydro-Diesel to power our boats two Fiat Power Train (FPT) engines.”
The benefits of emulsification have been well known for more than 80 years, as WiDE “Water in Diesel" cuts PM and other gases by improving atomization of the hydrocarbon molecules making the whole combustion process more efficient.
Other benefits include a lower engine temperature and a reduction of the fuel consumed per mile. We knew that emulsified diesel had the potential to make a big and immediate contribution to the reduction of harmful emissions such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) and alongside the new 2020 compliant diesel we offer a solution for existing emissions problems.
Mark Cornforth Maktec's Technical Director and known engine specialist added: “We are delighted to be supporting Clean Fuel and Team Britannia in highlighting the cost savings and benefits of Hydro-Diesel to vessel owners and managers" and see interest and sales of the fuel increasing considerably over the next six months especially now the UK government acceptances the views of the climate change lobbyists.
We have now reached an exciting turning point in the future of Hydro-Diesel and its positive impact on our environment.
