THE HARDSTAFF GROUP WINS NOTTINGHAMSHIRE’S BEST BUSINESS “THE SUSTAINABILITY AWARD”
Nottingham 29th September – The Hardstaff Group are pleased to announce that they have won the Nottinghamshire’s Best Business “Sustainability Award” 2011.
The awards are designed to encourage and recognise businesses across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire which have pioneered new concepts and innovation, excelled in commercial enterprise through exports and increased business or distinguished themselves with their attitude to workforce development.
The Sustainability Award, sponsored by the University of Nottingham was presented to Hardstaff at a ceremony held at Colwick Hall Hotel on the 23rd September recognising the development and implementation of dual fuel technology in heavy goods vehicles. The technology reduces the amount of diesel injected into a cylinder of a diesel engine, replacing the fuel with natural gas; this reduces CO2 engine emissions by approximately 16%-20%. There are significant reductions in all other tail-pipe pollutants which further benefit the environment.
Managing Director, Trevor Fletcher commented “We are delighted to receive this award in recognition of the hard work by all members of the team involved with the dual fuel technology. Our company is helping to achieve a sustainable future and cleaner environment for future generations by reducing greenhouse gases through the use of the dual fuel system.”
The Technology
The OIGI® HDX-I is a sophisticated high speed electronic system that reduces the amount of diesel injected into the cylinder, equally replacing the fuel with natural gas without affecting engine power. This unique and patented system does not require access to the manufacturers ECU in order to control diesel reduction and injection timing; and also retains OBD2 systems therefore preserving the integrity and control mechanisms designed by the manufacturer.
