GKN has stolen the
limelight as its flywheel kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) is about to hit
the streets of London in a series of buses to be fitted with its technology.

acquired Williams Hybrid Power from the Formula One business earlier this year to
form GKN Hybrid Power, implying that at times GKN can move fast.
