A record-setting JCB Dieselmax engine is the newest addition to the renewable energy laboratory in Georgia Southern University’s Allen E. Paulson College of Science and Technology. The JCB Dieselmax engine will be used by students in the research of biodiesel and other biofuels combustion emissions.

“JCB is pleased to donate this record setting diesel engine to GA Southern University. This engine is a testament to innovation, which is at the core of JCB’s success globally. As such, we are proud to be able to continue that tradition on a local level through partnerships with cutting edge academic institutions such as Georgia Southern,” said David Turner, Vice President of Operations for JCB.

Georgia Southern established the renewable energy lab a year-and-a-half ago and in that time the lab and the University’s Master of Science in Applied Engineering program have grown tremendously, thanks in part to community partnerships like the one with JCB.

­“This partnership provides tremendous opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students and Georgia Southern faculty to participate in real-world applied research that can provide local economic benefits to the region,” said Bret Danilowicz, Dean of the College of Science in Technology.
