Impact on society

Several projects have been completed, and others
are currently in progress. In particular, the research
activity brought to the construction and experimental
calibration of two innovative prototypes of 2-stroke
engines, both Compression and Spark Ignition.
Moreover, a patent regarding the design of opposed
piston engines has been submitted.

National and international

academic relationships regarding
the activity

The research group is an active member of the
international scientific community focused on 2-stroke
engines, including, as an example: Università di Firenze,
IFP Energies Nouvelles, University of Stuttgart, Graz
University of Technology, University of Bath, Universitat
Politècnica de València, and many others.
