Poclain brings 30 years of
hydraulics experience in the development of innovative hydraulic motors for
heavy-vehicle and agricultural applications. Poclain’s recent work on the
French hybrid Irisbus project will
make them an invaluable contributor to the hybrid vehicle/energy efficiency
research that CVDC is undertaking. “Improving the energy efficiency of freight
transport is a vital waypoint on the road to a sustainable economy,” said
Professor David Cebon, Director of the CVDC. “Poclain Hydraulics brings a
demonstrated commitment to hybrid vehicle research with the practical
experience to see ideas translated into results.”
Poclain is a worldwide leader in the design
and manufacture of hydrostatic transmissions with integrated cam lobe motors.
From its headquarters in Verberie, France, Poclain manages a sales and
manufacturing team of over 1500 people. Poclain has factories in France, the
USA, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, India, and Italy, which distribute through a
global network of over 150 distributors.
