Hybrids offer an immediate solution for reducing petroleum use
and greenhouse gas emissions. Reductions of up to 60% are being achieved now. No new
infrastructure and no further study to determine their environmental impact.
Electric hybrids have the potential to halve the
worlds petroleum fuel consumption and the same for exhaust
emissions. There are over six hundred million motor vehicles
on the road today. We have a retrofit concept design for all
of them. Most of these vehicles will continue spewing out
their toxic emissions for decades to come. One day they will
be replaced by new hybrid vehicles, this wont happen for a
long time. Our simple retrofit conversions will produce the
same outcome as the new hybrid vehicles
today.
We intend to target fleet owners and exploit the
corporate conscious to enlist their help in the fight against
air pollution (smog). Our prototypes are expected to reduce
fuel consumption by up to 25%. This will be increased with
further developments in modes of operation. This should lead
to a 50% average for all our vehicles.
These are only prototype vehicles, so the
conversions are not marketable at this
time.
1. The usual
type of electric hybrid has an electric motor
fitted between the engine and transmission.The new
truck manufacturers will be supplied with a similar drive unit
by ZF company for the European market and the EATONcorporation for the North American market. Nissan and
ZF Co-Develop their Parallel Hybrid Truck.
2. "Theirs",
ArvinMeritor use a remote mounting for the motor via a
transfer gearbox or drive shafts, with the electric motor
siting above the axle. This is only intended for the new
truck market. Their patent is dated 2005 (see attachment
international patent search). Our patent is
dated 2008 (see attachment
patent pending) our design is completely
different as can be seen below. Our concept will be completed
before theirs. Email was sent to ArvinMeritor describing our
design and I have published our concept on the Internet. No
challenges have been made to our patent pending.
3. "Our"
electric motor is close coupled to the engine flywheel, in front
of the clutch assembly and infront of the transmission.
