Brake issues still occupy a central role in the work of the Automotive Engineering Research Group and are the source of much of its reputation. For example, manufacturers including Bentley Motors have asked the group to conduct research into the problem of brake noise.
The Automotive Engineering Research Group has been established since the mid-1990s. It began as a team specialising in brake instability but the remit has broadened considerably - for example, bio-fuel research is an increasingly important component of the group's work.
One project being undertaken is an evaluation of bio-fuel emissions and the impact on engine performance for the massive BT fleet of vehicles.
