Those were my thoughts also.
The "Big Oil" stands to make as much or more profit on Torotrak's IVT as anyone else. We can be sure that the fluid they invented is securely patented. Shell is, most likely, also sharing revenues on the planned commercialization.
And, thanks for the interpretation to Sheriff, the enforcer.
Silly how someone could read such a simple thing and get it so wrong.
As you may know, the Sheriff thinks I work for Torotrak, and previously worked at Eaton, JLG, UPS, Oshkosh Truck, FEV, Ford, GM, International Trucks, Malone Specialty, and Morgan Olson, just to name a few.
