The Combustion Engines and Fuels Group (CEFG) Committee represent some 12,000 IMechE member with interest in Internal Combustion, IC, Engine Systems and associated technologies. These can range from high speed race engines, to passenger car and commercial vehicle engines and to medium and slow speed diesel engines used in rail traction, power generation and marine industries.

The primary interest is in engine-system design to improve performance, emissions and durability to achieve the efficiency aspirations and environmental regulations. Thus, related technologies such as new materials for combustion engines, alternative fuels, injection systems, combustion chamber optimisation, pressure charging systems, air management, engine management systems, electrification and hybrid systems, to name but a few, in way of both analytical methods and the practical techniques used in design and development of these components are within the scope of CEFG.

CEFG delivers international conferences and seminars to disseminate the relevant “current-trend technologies” to industries working with IC engines and associated components. If you are an employer working with IC engines or related technologies the CEFG Chairman invites you to participate in the relevant conference organising committees, see the events programme.    

 
There are currently places available on the CEFG board committee. If you work in the industry and would be keen to represent your peers and help to organise innovative and topical events please contact Louise McKenna, l_mckenna@imeche.org
