Anyone know why Torotrak is up 80% in the last two months.

The recent IMS was very positive, and suggesting news following the results cut off at the end of March 2012.

TRK has been quite volatile the last year or so, and a big jump in the SP could now be on the cards.

Yipee, the Allison deal is in the bag. A fast ride for all holders over the next few months!

I've been on board for too many years to get excited but this jam tomorrow stock might now be about to use some of the accumulated KERS.

Allison Transmission is too big a deal to be disregarded as 'jam tomorrow'. TRK is finally going to come good.

The deal with Flybrid (20% holding), plus the recent aquistion of MCL, and being part of Tata's 'Proving Factory' add considerably too.

I'm staying in for sure. Good luck to all those private investors who've stuck with this one.

I thought these were long dead and gone!

The initial feedback from the TRK to Shareholder presentations is very encouraging.

Looks like lots more to come.

Good news today from Volvo Cars confirming that the TRK KERS system delivers up to 25% saving on fuel, and adds 80HP to the power output. Also Ricardo exhibiting their KERS system at Bauma looks promising. The shares look a snip at under 30p. Very big upside soon?????

Final Results tomorrow. Hopefully good with maybe further news of new licencees etc..

The results look very positive, but no upside to the SP as yet.

Hopefully more to come at or before the AGM in July.

A quiet time currently in the run up to the AGM on July 25. I wonder if the location of the AGM at the Heritage Motor Centre has any significance. With the slight recent drop in the SP, TRK looks a good buy to me. Lots of thing happening in the background, and it'll only take one big announcenent to see the SP move upwards.

AGM tomorrow. Should be full of confidence. Good news to come?

Ah well - more jam tomorrow, or sometime, maybe.

Very upbeat news on the half year report - never seen this level of interest in the TRK products before. Jam now on the horizon I think supported by the continuing failure of electric hybrid products to gain market share and confidence. Continuing to hold but now with more expectation than ever.

Just bought in.. 22.44 gone long

Think this could do with a new updated thread.

Good time to buy is it? Leopards, spots etc... this has never been a good stock, unless like J you are given ~£150k-worth ( DYOR) - thankfully they've not been sold, but maybe soon -as sp rises, making MUGS of the rest of us.
Is KERS any good - well it's another attempt by the Motor-makers and EU to give us things we don't need, or want. Like dual-mass flywheels which soon costa lot to fix.
Bringing down the weight of cars always helps and even that rather disturbing switching-off the engine whenever you stop.... Ah, but then you get a BigBill when the starter-motor fails and the battery replacement messes up the engine-management, possibility of both on a Motorway and you can be looking at so large a Bill you'd be better off going by train. . . . . so there!

As there is likely to be an NDA with NISMO (and I would be amazed if there were not) then TRK will presumably be bound not to reveal anything without explicit approval from the other party(ies). From memory, Tata were reported to have slapped TRK on the wrist for some seeming breach of their NDA. The integrity of Torotrak and how that is viewed by other current and potential license holders is very important for them and us.

I am confident that if there is good news and if TRK can share it with us then they most certainly will. In the meantime, I assume there is nothing they can tell us. Patience - and let us hope that NISMO Flybrid KERS does what is needed and gets to Le Mans and wins. Now that would be good publicity! Good luck all.

Just what is happening at Torotrak? The Company's gone into some kind of news 'black out' and cancelled the February 2015 statement.

Someone must know. Good or bad ? If good the SP could just take off.

Flybrid KERS-equipped bus completes road testing with Arriva and starts carrying passengers in Kent

Torotrak (LSE: TRK), a leading developer and supplier of variable drive transmission, engine boosting and energy recovery systems for vehicles that increase fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions in vehicles, is pleased to announce that the first of the Flybrid KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) fitted Arriva StreetLite buses has gone into passenger carrying service in Gillingham, Kent.

The KERS-equipped Wrightbus StreetLite has passed stringent flywheel safety and roadworthiness testing, and has been approved for drivability by both customer Wrightbus and operator Arriva. The operational performance of the system will be monitored over the coming weeks with in-service data and driver feedback being collected.

Wrights Group Engineering Director, Brian Maybin, said, "We're pleased with the progress of this project, and the Torotrak engineers have been very supportive in getting the bus ready for service. Hopefully this will be the first of many, and we look forward to working with Torotrak in moving this technology towards production."

Steve Hughes, Torotrak's Chief Operating Officer said: "We have been pleased with our extensive testing and the performance of Flybrid KERS, delivered early this year to Arriva. Entering trials in public service marks an important milestone, where driver feedback will help our engineers optimise the system ahead of start of production".

At last the first bus fitted with Torotraks Flybrid KERS system has arrived.

With news on several other projects due in or before May, the next couiple of months will be interesting.
