Project: Motri - Engine Tribology
Contact: Senior Research Scientist Jaana Tamminen
The objective of the Engine tribology research project is to improve mechanical efficiency and usability of internal combustion engines by means of tribology and to increase knowledge of tribological phenomena appearing in internal combustion engines.
The Engine tribology is part of national ProMOTOR technology programme 1999-2003. The project is being supported by the National Technology Agency TEKES.
