Ashok Leyland, the parent company of the Hinduja Group, announced a partnership with UK-based Libertine Holdings for its commercial vehicle powertrains.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed by the commercial vehicle major to examine the potential for using the Libertine technology platform for its commercial vehicle powertrains.
In accordance with the conditions of the Memorandum of Understanding, Ashok Leyland will investigate Libertine’s technology and determine whether there is room for Linear Generator product development within its line-up of commercial vehicles.
“Libertine’s technology is the logical evolution of an internal combustion engine and could potentially allow for a software-defined engine with true multi-fuel capability,” Ashok Leyland Senior VP and Head of Advanced Engineering Kanakasabapathi Subramanian said in a statement.
