Great to hear that Silverstone Park occupier @PUNCHFlybrid has won another award The company, innovating in flywheel energy storage technology, has been named the @MadeinBritainGB Impact Awards’ Green Growth Manufacturer for 2023 More to follow...

Winner - Green Growth Manufacturer Award! It is unusual for energy storage technology to be manufactured entirely in Britain. The @PUNCHFlybrid products leverage Britain's expertise in manufacturing and are produced here in the UK which leads to very low embedded emissions.

Since the PP200 entered production , the fleet of units has now saved the equivalent amount of all fuel consumed by all F1 cars in all F1 races ever held. The 1st ever F1 GP was held at Silverstone in 1950. Flybrid is based at the Silverstone circuit. It all comes full circle.

. @BBCNorthampton radio today interviewing occupiers @Delta_Cosworth @PUNCHFlybrid & @Silver_Comps for tmrw's Brek show when host @AmosAnnabel will be live with our Commercial Director Chris Kimber-Nickelson Tune in 06:00-10:00; Chris is on air 08:20 bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00…

@bandkbuild leading the way again. Great work by the team! #flywheelpower #byebyeCO2 #sustainability #savingfuel #savingemissions

Great to be working with the brilliant @JohnFHuntPower team

Head judges across the competition share their fondest memories of Formula Student. Some pretty colourful responses, fair to say! #FS2023

On the eve of Formula Student #FS2023, FS Chair Andrew Deakin has a few words of welcome to all teams taking part this year. "How time flies; it seemed like only yesterday that we were marking our last big anniversary in the hot summer of 2018!" imeche.org/news/news-arti…

Looking forward to hosting a @GirlsOnTrackUK event at @ChelseaFC Stamford Bridge this Friday I'll be teaming up with @f1academy Chloe Chong for the "Presenting Challenge", inspiring a new generation of @FemalesinMSport @EnovationLtd @PUNCHFlybrid The Ignite Partnership

New kids on the block!   Great for the Silverstone Park Schools Programme to visit @dustonschool in Northampton for the first time today and see our business volunteers discuss #career types and pathways with Yr9 students there   #SPSP

Alan Guthrie on hire published an article regarding how the Flywheel Power System can be used to smooth out load spikes from equipment on mains connections. As a result operating costs as well as emissions are saved. alanguthrieonhire.com/cgi-bin/site-e…

@Cosworth We love how competitive the LEGO challenge gets! Girls have to build, code and race a LEGO car, with our brilliant partners @EnovationLtd & @PUNCHFlybrid 👍 #GirlsonTrackUK

@Cosworth Huge thank you to today’s hosts @Cosworth, the girls had a great day and definitely left inspired 👏 Thank you as always to our valued partners 🤝 And thanks to the Ignite Partnership @mission44 for the consistent support & funding towards events like this 🙌 #GirlsonTrackUK

Our new artic vehicle may not have been in the fleet for long, but it's soon clocked up some miles! If you're on the motorways this summer, keep your eyes peeled for our driver Paul as he delivers to our clients all over the UK! #stagev #dieselgenerators #flywheel

Having read Rowan Atkinson’s article and its “fact check counter” in the Guardian attacking and supporting electric vehicles, I came away feeling particularly bemused by the EV lobby's hatred of alternative forms of propulsion and visa-versa - and I say so as someone who has been dubbed by the media as the ‘Godfather of Electric Cars’.  No solution is perfect and all solutions have side effects. After all, each technology is at a different stage of maturity. When I started development of the Nissan LEAF, arguably the world's first mass EV, the vast majority of public commentary was negative. With that in mind, let us remember that ‘green legislation’ is trying to solve the blight of Co2 emissions and not particulates; the more critical of which are now brake and tyre dust. It is an inescapable truth that EV’s produce Co2 in their manufacturing. The only reliable reference data we have is the Volvo analysis that suggests an EV produces about 70% more than an equivalent ICE. The Co2 use in running an EV depends on the source of charging electricity, but is cleaner than running an ICE. Over life, an EV’s total footprint will be less than that of a conventional ICE. But there are alternatives, notably and importantly, now validated by the EU in their interpretation of “zero carbon”. Today there are three major alternatives: 1) Fuel Cell  2) Combustion of hydrogen  3) Combustion of synthetic fuels or E-fuels  Each have advantages and disadvantages; all are an improvement over current state. Combustion of hydrogen or hot hydrogen is interesting for, heavy goods vehicles, as an example. It uses about 80% carry-over ICE parts and the resultant tail pipe emission is water.  The advantage verses EV is lower manufacturing Co2 and virtually no Co2 in operation. The disadvantage is the sourcing and cost of green hydrogen and a small amount of NoX produced.  Combustion of synthetic fuel will become better understood from 2026 as it powers F1. Synthetic fuel takes Co2 from the atmosphere, converts it to gasoline and then burns it in a combustion process - resulting in net zero carbon use. The disadvantage is the maturity and sustainability of the fuels' manufacturing process and the fact that you have tail-pipe emissions, albeit at the level of Euro7. The EV haters, hydrogen haters, e-fuel haters need to acknowledge that no one solution is the final solution.   When government pick winners they always fail. Best solutions come from running and allowing many solutions; allowing them to compete and letting the end consumer pick the winner or winners. Darwinism, if you will.  What I’d like to make clear is that any significant improvement in Co2 consumption is a good improvement. We do not have the technology to produce totally net zero carbon cars today or in the foreseeable future, but we can see ways of significantly reducing the carbon consumption in multiple technologies. Rather than dismissing one technology verses another, I advocate “the engineer's” approach of acknowledging the imperfection of every solution and continuing the improvement/ kaizen of each over time.  There are more alternative solutions ahead of us, that are unknown today; that is the nature of engineering. Let’s not dismiss any of the alternatives which accelerate the journey to net zero carbon travel.

Thanks to our hosts @MonktonBath, our partners and volunteers for today 🙌 As we continue to work towards our aim of increasing diversity & inclusion within #motorsport, we are grateful to the Ignite Partnership for their funding & support for our programmes 👏 #GirlsonTrackUK

Our fantastic partners @EnovationLtd & @PUNCHFlybrid ran their usual #STEM Challenge, where the girls have to build, code and race LEGO cars 💪 #GirlsonTrackUK

Thanks to @drclarem & @MDD_Motor for giving the girls an insight into medical careers in #motorsport and teaching them how to use a defib, and to @EnovationLtd & @PUNCHFlybrid for running their engaging #STEM challenge; building, coding & racing LEGO cars! 🙌 #GirlsonTrackUK
