Based in Ellesmere, Shropshire, Bladon Jets claims to be a world leader in the development of micro gas turbine engines. It says its patented, break-through technology enables the production of highly efficient, small gas turbine engines that are ideally suited for use in hybrid electric vehicles, providing a lightweight and multi-fuel alternative to the engines currently used.
Tata Ltd managing director Anwar Hasan said: “The innovative nature of Bladon Jets lies at the very heart of our ethos at Tata and it is a company we have admired for some time. Acquiring a stake in this business is recognition of this and the exciting potential their products have in the automotive and distributed power generation arenas.”
