| ______________________________________________________ All our products are connected to hybrid technologies and reflect our vision concerning the future development in the automotive and propulsion field: ●The future hybrid technologies must be simple and reliable; ●It is necessary for the costs to be very close to the costs of the current technologies; ●The development risks must be minimized, shortening the R&D cycle. Following these constraints, we can offer you: Product 1: Supercharged
two-stroke engine for hybrid applications Represents the simplest supercharged engine ever designed. For a two opposite cylinder engine it uses only three main parts in motion: a solid piston, a crankshaft and only one connecting rod for two cylinders (the classic two stroke uses for two cylinders a number of five main parts in motion). Additionally to this concept the supercharger is included in the volume of the engine and employs same component parts. Being so simple it is highly recommended to be used in the propulsion system of the hybrid electric vehicle to drastically reduce its total cost. Product 2: Hybrid
engine This technology
opens the perspective to achieve small-size engines with half the number of
cylinders reported to the same power as a classic four-stroke engine. The high
power density recommends this engine for automotive, aircraft and navy
applications as well as for stationary construction. When it is used in the
automotive powertrains, the engine can have a hybrid
operation option that attains the
partial recovery of the braking energy and the stop and go function.
Compared with an electric hybrid system, the proposed solution eliminates the
electric generator, motor and battery components which are additional to the
engine. This reduces cost, complexity, weight and bulk while providing similar
function and benefits. Having so much power density and hybrid operation this concept can be used successfully in the powertrain of the future Formula 1 racing cars. With our proposed brake energy recovery the SPU (surge power units) can reach the maximum imposed weight of 20 Kg having an available energy capacity of some 900 KJ. In case of the hydrogen utilization, the engine configuration largely compensates the low energy density per unit volume specific of this fuel without any supplementary adaptation. A spark ignition variant supplied with hydrogen can reach an efficiency superior to 40%. Product 3: Ultra-Efficient
Transport System This concept creates the possibility to achieve, at the present time, an extended high-efficiency zero-pollution transport system for goods and passengers. This transport system can be used both in the cities and on the highways and comprises two main components: -The road transport vehicles which can be all sizes and types (buses, trucks or passenger cars), each having a “tri” or “bi” modal hybrid propulsion system; -The infrastructure which supplies in motion the road transport vehicles with electric energy by using an intermittent charging system. The current infrastructure will be easily modified to be adapted to this transport system. After the conversion, the infrastructure remains compatible with the current unmodified vehicles. The total propulsion efficiency of the vehicles which use this system in normal conditions is between 0.7÷ 0.82. This value is superior to a fuel cell’s total efficiency considered until now the most promising propulsion system of the future. In this case the regenerative braking operates with a total efficiency up to 70%. |
