• British Leyland Motor Corporation and Shell Research have signed an agreement to co-operate on an intensive research programme over the next three years aimed at reducing potentially harmful exhaust emission from petrol engines.
Research teams from the two companies will work in collaboration, with British Leyland developing and supplying experimental engines and equipment for fuel studies by the Shell scientists.
The Shell research team will be led by Dr. N. Kendall, development director of the Thornton Research Centre: while the British Leyland team comprises specialist technical directors Dr. John Weaving, Mr. Peter Wilkes and Mr. Walter Hassen.
The two groups will negotiate the licensing of any invention resulting from their joint research programme.
