Quote: Ricardo to Work with AFS Trinity on 250MPG Plug-In Hybrid
Ricardo will join AFS Trinity to design, test and develop AFS Trinity’s Extreme Hybrid drivetrain and to build the initial systems for licensing by AFS Trinity to carmakers worldwide.
The Extreme Hybrid plug-in promises fuel economy in the 200–250 mpg US range. Its Li-ion/capacitor-based energy storage system provides greater efficiency in energy capture and release from regenerative braking, thereby extending the operational range of the vehicle in all-electric mode.
*snip*
AFS Trinity expects that a plug-in hybrid sedan incorporating the drive train will achieve fuel efficiency of 250 mpg and that a moderate size SUV utilizing the drive train will be capable of 200 mpg. The driver will be able to operate the vehicle in electric-only mode for 40 miles, and at any time may flip a switch to run the vehicle as a conventional hybrid with a 500-mile range.
AFS Trinity Power Corporation is an energy storage company, created in 2000 through the combination of two pioneers: American Flywheel Systems (AFS)—the recipient of the first patent ever given for a flywheel battery (1992)—and Trinity Flywheel Power (Trinity). The company has devoted more than $45 million, 75% of it from private sources, to the development of kinetic energy storage, power management and UPS power backup technologies.
