The contract is the first step in establishing further test data on this technology, as ITM continues to explore the impact of hydrogen injection into diesel fuelling systems. Under the terms of the contract, Bi-Fuels is committed to develop and test technologies for Hydrogen:Diesel co-combustion in common-rail engines for ITM which are applicable to ITM's proprietary materials and processes. The Bi-Fuels contract effectively replaces the MOU with ABRO, which has expired without testing taking place.

Progress of this relationship will be reported in due course.

Jim Heathcote, CEO ITM Power, said:

"The collaboration with Bi-Fuels Limited will enable ITM to accelerate its investigation of hydrogen/diesel bi-fuel technology, which is another area of commercial potential for ITM's intellectual property and expertise."
