5 working packages
The project has been divided into 5 work packages (WPs) with an
industrial research phase and an experimental development phase:
Wp 1
Starting with lab-scale experimentation to gain a better understanding of the NH3 as a fuel and its characteristics.
Wp 2
Concurrent with this will be the initial development and experimentation of the engine to be used in the real vehicle.
Wp 3 The numerical procedure will be built using data collected in the experiments.
wp 4 An assessment of the technology impact using data from the other WPs will be conducted.
wp 5 Experimental development phase where the developed technology will be demonstrated using agricultural SCOUT 18T tractor.
