Aerodynamic Optimisation – Creating Fuel Savings for the Long Haul
Almost 50% of the fuel consumption of the trucks that use our highways, every hour of every day, is used in overcoming aerodynamic drag. For the operator this directly impacts profitability through fuel cost, additional noise, handling issues, emissions, and driver fatigue, but also impacts others road users, through excessive turbulence, creating challenging driving conditions, […]

New Developments on EU’s Clean Sky 2 Project
Development in the EU funded H2020 CleanSky2 programme is taking shape as a consortium including a leading pressure scanner manufacturer completes the specification stage. UK based, Evolution Measurement Ltd have completed the specification stage of the bespoke pressure scanners which will be used during the RACER aircraft’s aerodynamic testing stage. EvoScann® scanners will be custom-built […]
Electric Vehicle Automotive Aerodynamic On-Car Pressure Scanning
Our latest Application note covers the importance of aerodynamic on-car testing in the Electric Vehicle industry. “A key factor in determining the performance and distance capability of a new EV road car is in understanding its aerodynamic performance. This has a huge effect on its vehicle dynamics and ultimately on its “All Electric Range” that […]
EvoScann® supports Formula Student Racing Team
KA-RaceIng, the Formula Student Team of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, have been undertaking an extensive testing and validation programme for their latest Formula Student challenger car, the autonomous racecar, KIT21d. In order to fully measure and validate the performance of their front wing and analyse their wheel wake, an impressive wheel wake rake was built […]
Moto Guzzi – Nato nella Galleria Del Vento – “Born out of the wind tunnel”
On the shore of Lake Como at Moto Guzzi’s factory, there’s a unique, historic building quietly tucked away in a corner of the site that is almost 70 years old. I would like to share my own passion for Moto Guzzi, and my job in Aerodynamic measurements, to explore this iconic building with the reader: […]
Miniature Pressure Scanner Increases Accuracy
EvoScann’s highly miniaturised differential pressure scanner has increased its accuracy levels by 5x, when compared with its previous capabilities, firmly placing it as the most accurate scanner at this level in the market. Engineering developments and continuous improvements have enabled the EvoScann® P8-D to deliver full-scale accuracy which is 5x better than before. Full scale […]
True Differential Pressure Scanner
The manufacturers of EvoScann® P8-Series pressure scanner have further developed the revolutionary instrument to now offer true differential pressure measurement. This means that the PxD variant of the instrument is instantaneously measuring the difference between two points, lending itself directly into the pitot-static market, or for use on Kiel Probes in aero-dynamic testing or for […]
Watch Full Video of NCME’s Ensign Aerodynamic Project
Last year, we supported the National Centre for Motorsport Engineering at University of Bolton (NCME) with an exciting project. Ensign 180b, which is owned by motor racing supremo Dr Bob Fernley, is a former Formula 1 car which also later raced in the US CanAm series.Students at NCME had the rare opportunity of working directly […]
