As an example, increased weight because of the use of high-strength steel will push the engine up in displacement, while going all the way to carbon fiber or all-aluminum—i.e., higher cost, but lighter weight body materials—allows the engine size to drop, saving money on that side of the business.

Technologies to Address Internal Heating in DC Bus Capacitors Capacitors suitable for harsh automotive environments must suffer extreme environmental conditions. However, they must accommodate high ripple currents, in a high temperature environment. Film capacitors present an option for use as high voltage bus capacitors.

In order to accomplish this transition in a timely way, we must start the mass manufacturing of PHEV vehicles and renewable energy generation and distribution systems now. Some examples are the use of fiberglass, carbon fiber and Kevlar substituting for wood and metal in vehicle parts, appliances and furniture products.

It can look like leather, textile, brushed steel, wood, carbon fiber, almost anything, and can take light from all angles as well, and can be in different colors. We had to build two factories to have redundancy in manufacturing. That’s also good for total cost. We can lower total cost of ownership.”
