LPUC Information Transfer Prohibition

In Simple Terms

Power unit manufacturers are not allowed to share information, designs, or technical knowledge about their power units with other manufacturers. They also can't hire consultants from competing manufacturers or copy performance improvement methods from rivals. This rule keeps competition fair by preventing manufacturers from gaining unfair advantages through information sharing.

• Manufacturers cannot share power unit designs, data, or intellectual property with competitors
• Teams cannot receive consulting services or technical advice from rival power unit manufacturers
• Performance enhancement methods and methodologies must be developed independently
• This ensures each manufacturer develops their power units through their own innovation and research
