Turbine Truck Engines Enters Strategic Alliance With China Corporation; Two New Engine Designs to Result

Turbine Truck Engines, Inc. (TTE), the developer of the concept Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine (DCGT) for heavy-duty vehicle applications (earlier post), has signed a strategic alliance agreement with China-based Aerospace Machinery & Electric Equipment Company, Ltd. (AMEC).

Details of the agreement call for the two companies to collaborate on the development and commercialization of the DCGT specifically for application opportunities in China. AMEC and TTE will collaborate on modifying and applying the DCGT engine technology to create two new engine designs: a 150 hp (112 kW) engine for automobiles and a 400 hp (298 kW) engine for buses.

Both parties also anticipate that, pursuant to satisfactory participation and performance by AMEC, they will enter into a Joint Venture agreement whereby TTE will grant AMEC the exclusive rights to manufacture, market and sell the DCGT engines in China. Currently TTE is testing a fifth-generation prototype clean-air engine specifically designed for trucking industry applications, using alternative fuels.
