The Flexible Clean Propulsion Technologies project follows in the footsteps of the Clean Propulsion Technologies project (CPT), which operated during 2021-2023. CPT was a co-innovation endeavour of 15 consortium partners, with the support of Business Finland. It secured a budget of over 15 million euros to establish global technology leadership for the Finnish powertrain industry by creating a common vision and sustainable business solutions. The project fulfilled the need to create a critical mass for powertrain research and development by strategically combining the resources of two domains.

CPT provided 21 new solutions and innovations, ranging from accelerated model-based design methodologies and progress in combustion and aftertreatment control, through to hybrid energy management solutions. These were implemented in several demonstrators. Examples include: (i) an ultra-clean, reactivity-controlled compression ignition (RCCI) marine engine; (ii) an innovative lean-burn hydrogen engine platform for the off-road sector; and (iii) the electro-hydraulic hybrid demonstrator platform, sWille.
