Rochester, Michigan, Feb 18, 2004 - The Product Development and Manufacturing Center (PDM Center) at Oakland University has a long history of bringing innovative technologies to auto companies, suppliers, and transit companies to improve costs, but bringing technology to help a State Senator improve costs was a first. The collaboration started at Oakland University, where one of the thrusts of the PDM Center is to act as a technology incubator, helping develop, qualify, and apply automotive innovation. Dr. Patrick Dessert, Director of the PDM Center, discussed with Senator Mike Bishop (R-Rochester), the possibility of using some of the technologies researched at the PDM Center on the State of Michigan's trucks, buses, and automobiles to help reduce their operating costs. "When I first sat down with Dr. Dessert, I was impressed because he wasn't looking for funding, but instead sought to bring tested ideas to the state to help save money," said Bishop. "By way of offering my own vehicle as a test case, I came to see the merit in Dr. Dessert's claims and approach." At that point, Dr. Dessert spent several weeks baselining the Senator's Lincoln LS for fuel consumption, oil quality, and emissions. When the baseline was established, Dr. Dessert treated Senator Bishop's vehicle with the Oil Treatment created by Advanced Lubrication Technologies, Palm City, Florida. In a matter of 6 days the Senator saw his fuel economy improve by about 8%. Directly, this would save Senator Bishop about $500 dollars a year in fuel costs and maintenance costs. However, the application of this technology on the state fleet could save millions of dollars. At that point Senator Bishop began to connect the PDM Center with the state to apply these technologies and realize the savings. "I can't tell you how much I admire what Senator Bishop has done in using his own vehicle as a case study", says Dr. Dessert. "He showed rare leadership in jumping in with both feet, and committing himself to try to help the tax payers of Michigan save money." Another benefit to this collaboration, is that it may help bring advanced automotive technology companies to the state. "The work the PDM Center has done to validate and help implement our revolutionary technologies in automotive has exceed our expectations", says Mike Phelps, CEO, of Advanced Lubrication Technologies. "We definitely are impressed with the active role Senator Bishop has played in this effort and look forward to working with the State of Michigan in the future". "In light of all the designs and innovations we have seen at the Auto Show, it's important not to lose sight of those things we can accomplish now," Bishop said. Senator Bishop will continue to test other technologies on his trips to Lansing in the coming months.
