An academic-industry collaboration led by Professor Mohini Sain (MIE) has produced a new sustainably-sourced, production-ready engine component for high-performance vehicles.
The new part reduces emissions by both, displacing fossil fuel-derived plastics with renewable alternatives that can be recycled, and by decreasing vehicle weight, leading to improved fuel efficiency.
The Carbon Fibre-Composite 5.0L Engine Timing Cover was created over the course of five years through an NSERC-supported partnership and ORF-RE project between Sain’s lab group and Ford Canada’s Powertrain Research and Development Centre (PERDC), led by Dr
