Hybrid POWER!!!
AFS TRINITY TODAY FILES PATENT DISCLOSING TECHNOLOGY
FOR 250 MPG ‘EXTREME HYBRID’ PLUG-IN CAR Gasoline and electricity cost expected to be $8 per week versus $36 for gasoline for the average American driver today SEATTLE, May 4, 2006 . . . AFS Trinity Power Corporation today filed its patent application disclosing the company’s new technology for an Extreme Hybrid™ car capable of carrying the average American motorist more than 250 miles on a single gallon of gasoline or ethanol. The Extreme Hybrid™ will plug into a house’s electrical current overnight to run without gasoline or ethanol for the 40 miles that the average American drives each day. For longer trips, the vehicle will operate as a conventional hybrid that efficiently burns gasoline or ethanol. “The U.S. Department of Transportation estimates that the average American drives 300 miles per week,” AFS Trinity CEO Edward W. Furia said. “Most days Americans drive 40 miles or less. At $3 a gallon, this costs about $48 a week for a conventional 20 mpg car and $36 if the car can get 25 mpg. The most efficient conventional hybrids get about 50 mpg which means $19 a week. By comparison, the Extreme Hybrid™ will use less than $8 per week total for fuel and electricity.” UK-Based Ricardo to help with XH™ drive train AFS Trinity plans to build the XH™ drive train with the help of UK-based Ricardo plc, a leading supplier of automotive design and engineering to the world’s major carmakers. AFS Trinity and Ricardo have signed a mutually exclusive Technology Partnership Agreement to work together to develop plug-in hybrid technology. With sufficient funding they expect that XH™ demonstration vehicles could be in the hands of fleet owners in two years and could be licensed for mass production by car makers in three years. The Patent and the Technology The AFS Trinity patent filing discloses that Fast Energy Storage™ technology, including ultracapacitors, controllers and power electronics, will enable the Extreme Hybrid™ to overcome the limitations of the energy storage components of conventional hybrids and other plug-in designs. “This technology will permit a car to travel the entire 40 miles of an average American’s daily driving in all-electric mode, without giving up rapid acceleration or the ability to travel at highway speeds, all without burning a drop of gasoline,” Furia said. The patent filing also discloses that idle XH™ vehicles will be capable of sending power back into the grid through a vehicle to grid – V2G – subsystem, which will help stabilize the power grid and reduce XH™ owners’ cost of electricity.

Even more news
Ford is developing a new form of automotive propulsion, and the implications for the American Auto Industry are huge. The Hydraulic Hybrid could be the greatest innovation since the internal combustion engine itself, and Ford is on the inside track with its F-150 Hybrid. New Tech Spy Has learned details about the system that are simply amazing and could put Ford in a commanding position in the fiercely competitive full size pickup market. ---The Idea behind the current crop of Hybrid cars is well known; the cars main energy comes from gasoline which recharges batteries that move the car at low speeds. Hydraulic Hybrids work in the same manner, only instead of batteries, excess energy is stored in hydraulic cylinders.That in itself is not revolutionary, except for the fact that Nickel Metal Hydride batteries used today are not an efficient way to store energy, and hydraulic storage blows them away with 3X the efficiency. Even next generation Lithium Ion batteries do not come close to Hydraulic Energy Storage. ---The standard F-150 has a curb weight of about 4800 lbs., which is 65% greater than theToyota Prius, yet incredibly the Hydraulic F-150 with a continuously variable transmission matches the Prius with 60mpg city rating, that’s an amazing 400% increase over its gasoline version. more info: Ford's Hydraulic Hybrid: Myth or Reality? - TechnoRide

You should see the looks I get while driving my truck. It looks like a gas hog with the 6 inch lift and 35s, but it gets 21mpg on the highway since it is a duramax, with a tuner for better mileage. Eventually it will be running on BioDiesel.

 Diesel is highly efficient and can move the load. That's why my primary truck for years was diesel powered. And my next truck will likely be the same. Of course, I'd rather a smaller truck for personal use, but any diesel is better than no diesel...
