Fluent re-affirms commitment to DERC
Participation in Diesel Emissions Reduction Consortium provides access to university research results for reduction in oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter levels.
Fluent will again participate in the international Diesel Emissions Reduction Consortium (DERC), which was introduced last year by the Engine Research Center (ERC) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison The purpose of the DERC is to help diesel engine manufacturers and related industries meet future diesel engine emissions regulations

In the run-up to the FIFA World Cup, Fluent has published the results of pioneering work at the University of Sheffield.
"We are excited to re-affirm our commitment to the DERC," said Werner Seibert, Fluent's Global Automotive Market Manager.
"The consortium's mission to provide members with access to university research results that can be applied to 2010 mandates for reduction in oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter levels is directly in line with one of the main areas of research at Fluent".
"We see numerical modelling tools such as CFD as key facilitators in the development of future technologies that meet these stringent emission targets and hence provide access to the world-renowned expertise at the ERC, available through this consortium, to complement well our own internal development programmes".
"Through partnership programmes such as this, our goal is to expand more rapidly and validate our CFD software for modelling diesel engines and downstream reduction systems and maintain our position as the fastest growing automotive CFD vendor".
Participation in the consortium provides leveraging of funds to members.
Current ERC funding from the US Government and worldwide industrialists is about $3.5 million, and secures the involvement of six faculty staff, five research staff and over 80 graduate students and post-docs.
Consortium member companies have access to these resources pre-competitively for solving specific engineering problems within their own business strategy, and to meet future diesel engine emission regulations.
The consortium also provides a forum for sharing information and research findings to engine manufacturers and related industries.
