THE MAKER of the Trident Iceni supercar is to turn its hand to the HGV market and is looking for interested companies to help test its new fuel-saving torque multiplication device (TMD).
Previous tests of its turbo dieselengined car, carried out at Millbrook and Mira proving grounds, have produced fuel consumption igures of 68.9mpg at a constant 70mph and more than 130mpg at a constant 30mph.
Now the Norfolk-based company is looking to apply the same technology to trucks through a retroit device.Trident believes that by installing the TMD, fuel consumption could be reduced by as much as 22%, and is looking for operators with 400hp-plus vehicles – that are used on long-haul routes – to take part in the trial. The irst production unit is expected to be available within the next ive months. Interested parties should contact info@tridenttmd.com.
