Greenpower Bi-Fuels - Market Scoping
Greenpower has created “The Optimiser”, a revolutionary new electronic control system which works in conjunction with its dual-fuel technology. Cognisant Research conducted a Market Scoping study for Greenpower, having been commissioned to identify the potential market place for the Optimiser.

Following extensive desk research, utilising published data from the SMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders), and the first hand knowledge of chief technicians and engineers, Cognisant Research constructed a market model showing how many trucks in the UK were compatible with the Optimiser.
