Welcome to Green Tribology and Engine Performance (G-TriboE) Research Group! The Group, which originally started with six members, was established in late 2012. G-TriboE is one of the pioneer research groups under the management of Centre for Advanced Research on Energy, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka.
The green tribology and engine performance research into clean energy are vital in protecting our planet for a greener future. Friction and wear causes problems such as high and unnecessary energy consumption and disturbance in production. No less than one third of a car’s fuel consumption is spent in overcoming friction, and this friction loss has a direct impact on both fuel consumption and emissions. Researchers from G-TriboE Research Group strive at seeking innovative and sustainable solutions to these questions. This is in line with the upcoming National Automotive Policy to turn Malaysia into a regional hub for Energy Efficient Vehicles (EEVs) with high technology uptake among industry players for domestic, regional and international exports. On the same hand, the group carries out both fundamental and applied research in this interdisciplinary areas.
Vision
To be the world's leading group for research development and innovation in improving the energy efficiency and sustainability in inter-linkages between tribological and engine systems.
Mission
1. Create and disseminate knowledge through research and development.
2. Securing the national and international funding.
3. Conduct frontier research facilities.
4. Creating innovation in sustainable and environment-friendly products for the industries and societies.
5. Establishing research networking with industries and institutes for commercialization.
