Press releases | 10/04/2021 Liebherr takes part in the C³-Mobility research project

  • Liebherr researches injection of synthetic fuels in heavy-duty and large engines
  • OME3-5, 1-octanol and methanol show great potential for on- and off-highway applications

In the course of the past three years, the joint project "Closed Carbon Cycle Mobility - Climate Neutral Fuels for the Traffic of the Future" (C³-Mobility) has been pursuing new paths towards a CO2-neutral future in mobility. Liebherr-Components is one of the 33 research partners in this cross-sector consortium covering power generation, process engineering, automotive and commercial vehicle engine manufacturing, as well as research and development.

C³-Mobility focuses on the use of fuels from renewable sources based on methanol and their further processing into other petrol and diesel fuels.

Thereby, Liebherr has contributed its core competence in the field of fuel injection equipment and tested synthetic fuels in heavy-duty and large engines in dual-fuel combustion processes, by means of high-pressure chamber and other functional tests. The test results show great potential for the fuels OME3-5, 1-octanol and methanol used in on- and off-highway applications.
