Imagine a device that acts like a battery charger for your car, but instead of plugging it into a wall, it catches wasted energy from your exhaust and brakes. It turns a regular gas or diesel car into a hybrid without needing to buy a new vehicle. This means you save money on fuel every time you drive, whether you are cruising on the highway or stopping at a red light.
Existing combustion engine fleets are expensive to operate and contribute heavily to CO2 emissions, while replacing them entirely with new EVs is slow and costly.
A compact dual hybrid retrofit kit that attaches to the alternator and turbocharger to recover energy from exhaust and braking.
If you are a fleet owner dealing with high fuel overheads — this project developed a retrofit dual hybrid system that provides 20% energy and cost savings. It allows existing diesel and gasoline cars to become hybrid electric vehicles. Investment can be recovered in as little as 6 months.
If you are an OEM dealing with strict EU 2030 CO2 reduction targets — this project developed a modular add-on component for alternators and turbochargers. It enables new car sales to be ready for 100% climate neutral renewable fuels like H2 gas and e-fuels.
If you are a city manager dealing with urban emission regulations — this project developed a plug-and-play conversion kit that reduces NOx and CO2 emissions by 13-18%. It can be fitted on 99.5% of Europe's passenger and light commercial vehicle fleets.
Based on available project data, the specific purchase price is not listed, but the system provides 20% cost savings with a potential investment payback in as little as 6 months.
Yes, the project is in its final product testing phase and is ready to start production, with a future goal of offering the system to OEMs for series volume.
Yes, the project summary mentions a patented design that combines exhaust waste energy recovery and kinetic brake energy recovery.
One of the main goals of the project was achieving the necessary certifications needed for automotive products.
It is a plug-and-play retrofit product consisting of an add-on component attached to the engine's alternator and turbocharger.
The project is led by a single Swedish SME, Kasi Technologies AB, which acted as the sole partner. This indicates a highly centralized development process where the company maintains 100% control over the industrial intellectual property and implementation.
