Market Pain Point Solutions:
TwinTorq Drivetrains for Electric Vehicles significantly extend battery driving range and runtime.
- A major pain point for Electric Vehicles (EVs) is restricted driving range and operational runtime. This is due to limited battery capacity and is a siginificant obstacle to EV adoption and growth in many markets. Commercial users of EVs view vehicle range, runtime and uptime as key values that have a direct bearing on total operating cost. Extending battery capacity provides greater productivity and ROI.
TorqPak Retrofit Hybrid Systems for Class 6, 7 & 8 Diesel Vehicles significantly reduce fuel consumption.
- A major pain point for diesel powered bus and truck fleets is long term high fuel cost. In the US diesel remains higher priced than gasoline, with prices in Europe even higher. Hybrids are the most effective solution but new hybrid vehicles are prohibitively expensive. The TorqPak retrofit hybrid drivetrain enables more energy regenerative hybrid torque to be installed in limited chassis space than any other system while providing faster paybacks and higher ROI.
Large Global Markets:
- TwinTorq: Adoption of commercial & industrial EVs (buses, trucks, forklifts) is growing worldwide.
- TorqPak: Over 1 Million existing, in-service Class 6, 7 & 8 frequent-start-stop diesel buses and trucks in the US.
Patents:
- TwinTorq Electric-Hydraulic Motor System – US and PCT patents applied for.
- TorqPak Hybrid Drivetrain System – Patents issued (US Patent No. 8,798,828) and pending.
Development Strategy: Current development is focused on the TwinTorq drivetrain for Electric Vehicles, funded by grant and other sources to build, integrate and test the system in an electric forklift in collaboration with a major US forklift manufacturer.
