Berata: for Engines that Consume Less

Berata, automotive engineering specialists, work on the vehicles of tomorrow. The company develops solutions designed to lower fuel consumption, and works primarily on prototype hybrid engines.

Berata’s doing fine! This German subsidiary of Altran is at the very forefront of engineering and innovation technologies in the automotive sector.

The company is currently developing a “Start-Stop” system designed to put the vehicle on automatic standby during short stopping periods (at traffic lights, stop signs, etc.). Major energy savings are the key concept, particularly in urban operation.

Another of Berata’s flagship projects: designing a prototype petrol-electric hybrid engine. This type of engine, which is very much in the news at the present time, still needs further improvements, which is why Berata is working chiefly on an even more effective system of electrical energy storage. The performance of vehicles with this type of engine should shoot up 20% or so, with 10% less consumption. At a time when the price of a barrel of oil is increasing, and will continue to do so according to some observers, the spotlight is firmly on technological innovations in the automotive sector that could bring about a drastic reduction in fuel consumption. Berata has set its best consultants to work on this strategic area of research..
