AS WELL AS collecting a Queen's Award for Export CM, April 25), Lucas CAV is also to receive a Queen's Award for Technological Achievement for the development of the Microjector.
This is a miniaturised fuel injector for small diesel engines and has been developed from an original concept by engineer Peter Howes.
A £15m investment in a new high-technology factory at Ipswich has enabled Lucas CAV to deliver 2.5m Microjectors to General Motors in the USA within two years of starting production.
