Last week Clean Propulsion Technologies consortium got together for the 3rd CPT review meeting that was organised at Tampere University. The conference was attended by over 60 participants and almost all consortium partners were represented.
The conference consisted of two plenary sessions, three technical sessions, and visits to Tampere University’s Heavy lab and Electrified autonomous work machines as well as AGCO Powers Research and Advances Engineering company tour. In addition, the conference dinner brought the participants together to enjoy excellent food.
In plenary session 1, Advisory board chairman Piotr Bielaczyc from BOSMAL gave a comprehensive keynote speech about Green Deal, Fit for 55, Euro 7/VII impact on energy security, GHG emissions reduction and propulsion technology development in the EU. In plenary session 2, company partners Wärtsilä and AGCO Power and research institutes VTT, University of Vaasa, and Tampere University presented the status update about the final demonstrations of the CPT project. Plenary session 2 ended with a panel discussion, where the session speakers answered questions about demos and project experiences from the host and the audience.
The Technical session presentations signal that the project has progressed according to plans. Some significant results have already been achieved and more will be achieved during the last 9 months of the project. After each presentation, the audience asked the speakers good and relevant questions, and interesting discussions continued after the sessions ended.
Many thanks to all participants of the event! The fourth and last event of the project will be organized at the end of 2023. Part of the event will also be open to the general public – follow the project’s social media for more information.
