Jonathan Hall - Head of Research & Advanced Engineering, MAHLE Powertrain Ltd
Jonathan Hall is Chief Engineer for Research and advanced engineering at MAHLE Powertrain, where he is responsible for leading a team of highly skilled engineers who are engaged in developing technologies to enhance electrified mobility, as well as advanced combustion systems for renewable and zero carbon fuels. Jonathan studied Mechanical Engineering at Coventry University. He has worked within powertrain consultancy for over 20 years having joined MAHLE Powertrain on the graduate scheme and has considerable experience gained from many challenging powertrain projects to develop cutting-edge technology for customers across the globe. His experience spans fuels cells, electric propulsion systems and internal combustion engines.
HyJet - Hydrogen Jet Ignition for High Performance Vessels
MAHLE’s Jet Ignition® (MJI) technology, optimised for hydrogen combustion under the name HyJet, enables the ignition of sustainable fuels in clean combustion engines. The HyJet project aims to develop sustainable propulsion solutions for retrofit to high performance marine vessels where battery and other electrified technologies may not prove practical. Headed by MAHLE Powertrain, the all-British consortium comprises Clean Air Power, providers of the critical fuel injection system, and the University of Nottingham’s renowned Powertrain Research Centre with responsibility for fuel storage assessment and testing. The collaboration will initially target search and rescue vessels. The low energy density and high weight of current battery technologies, coupled with the need to quickly replenish for the next mission, means that alternative green propulsion solutions are required. The HyJet project will begin by analysing usage data collected from the RNLI’s vessels during real-world operations to establish the fleet requirements and to help identify the optimum approach for clean operation.
