Roush Enterprises is the latest member of the Engine Technology Forum, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to advancing engines, fuels and technologies for the internal combustion engine.
Michigan-based Roush was founded in 1976, and its Bemidji operation is responsible for many miles of winter test driving for new vehicles coming onto the market.
In addition to automotive interests with 4,500 global employees, Roush also has aerospace, defense and theme park sectors.
“We see a bright future for internal combustion engine technology in new and conversion applications," said Todd Mouw, Roush CleanTech executive vice president, in a news release.
"More than 45,000 vehicles — school and shuttle buses, work trucks, and other vehicles — are on the roads with Roush technology. Our commitment to being a leader in advanced engine technology includes helping to educate and inform people about the policies that drive our customers’ needs.'"
The Engine Technology Forum in Washington D.C. evolved from the Diesel Technology Forum, founded in 2000. It describes itself as the only organization dedicated to promoting a future for internal combustion engines.
“Our Forum members are excited to welcome the Roush team. We’re looking forward to the insights they’ll share and their contributions to our constantly evolving scope of work," said forum Executive Director Allen Schaeffer. "Advanced engines and fuels help our world evolve, and progress, to meet new challenges. And Roush’s commitment to environmental responsibility and innovation will help the Forum share this story with others around the world.”
