CPT presenting two papers at SAE World Congress on SpeedStart and TIGERS for 48V mild hybrid systems

Green Car Congress

An SR based B-ISG is a relatively simple mechanical design construction consisting of a wire wound stator and central laminated rotor with no windings. The exhaust gas can reach temperatures greater than 900 °C, whereas the turbine upper functional limit is 850 °C. Rick Quinn, senior manager for advanced engineering.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. It solves the storage problems faced by the electric utility companies in absorbing and adapting to the highly variable power and energy generated by solar and wind. Distributed Solar and Wind with the PHEV.

EV myths busted: Are electric vehicles actually good for the environment?

Drive Electric

Because EVs run on electricity, the vehicle emits no exhaust from a tailpipe and does not contain the typical liquid fuel components in ICEVs. 40% of our energy comes from renewable sources, such as hydro, geothermal and wind. A battery electric vehicle (BEV) uses an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine.
