Many business are suffering from rising fuel prices

Abstract:
The current fuel crisis has focussed many companies on ways to reduce their high fuel bills. Oxonica, a leading European nanotechnology company, spun-out of the University of Oxford, has developed Envirox™ Fuel Borne Catalyst, a commercially available product for the automotive industry and in particular heavy duty vehicles.

Envirox™ reduces fuel consumption in diesel engines, offering savings of 5-10% depending on the application and also reduces harmful particulate emissions by up to 15%.
