Description of SE/Org:

Libralato Ltd is an innovation specialist in low cost, low carbon, low emission vehicle technologies, supported by European Green Cars Initiative and Innovate UK projects. Libralato is demonstrating how to break the road transport’s ‘addiction to oil’ without compromise to the customer.

Founded in 2008, Libralato Ltd. aims to revive the legacy of Rolls Royce in its deprived inner-city birthplace in Hulme, Manchester.

Products or services sold:

The Libralato R6 eco-engine - an eco engine for the 21st century.

The Libralato R6 eco-engine is a compelling new concept of engine architecture and thermodynamic cycle, an historic breakthrough in internal combustion engine design, solving the problems of the Wankel engine (poor combustion, overheating, seal wear) through its exchange of gases between three dynamic chambers, its highly efficient geometry and its non-contact labyrinth sealing.

Predicted to be more efficient than a diesel engine (50%) using gasoline but half the size weight and cost, it enables plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) systems to fit into standard engine bays, reducing mineral fuel consumption by 70% and CO2 by 55% (well-to-wheel), breaking the car’s addiction to oil, cost competitively.

Conservation of the natural environment, Employment, training and education

Mission Statement:
The global automotive community has not yet realised that the most cost-effective approach to rapidly and radically reducing road transport emissions is to focus on electrification of the congested urban cycle, maximising the cost utilisation of a battery capacity sufficient for average daily driving distances and optimising the internal combustion engine efficiency for the extra-urban cycle.

The Libralato R6 eco-engine enables a paradigm shift in the way the average car GLOBALLY is powered: 50% EV (Town) 50% ICE (Country). As a market leader, the R6 eco-engine can realistically achieve 5% market penetration - 5m units pa by 2040; reducing fuel oil consumption by 171.7m barrels pa (70% per vehicle), CO2 emissions by 5.8m tonnes pa (55% per vehicle) and showing how to slash Europe’s urban air pollution health costs of €1tn pa.

Libralato aims to develop partnerships with one or more global vehicle manufacturers and if possible, to revive engine manufacturing in Rolls-Royce's deprived inner-city birthplace of Hulme, creating thousands of sustainable manufacturing jobs for the 21st century.
