The goal of the FreedomCAR and Fuel Partnership was the development of emission- and petroleum-free cars and light trucks.It focused on the high-risk research needed to develop the necessary technologies such as fuel cells and advanced hybrid propulsion systems to provide a full range of affordable cars and light trucks free of foreign oil and harmful emissions without sacrificing freedom of ...
SpaceDev, a part of the "Space Systems Business" of Sierra Nevada Corporation, is prominent for its spaceflight and microsatellite work. It designed and built components for the hybrid rocket motors for Paul Allen's Tier One suborbital SpaceShipOne space program operated by Scaled Composites.
ISE Corporation was founded in January 1995 [4] by David M. Mazaika and Michael C. Simon, [5] engineers who had formerly worked for General Dynamics. [6] The company's initial funding came from a research grant provided by the South Coast Air Quality Management District to develop and test hybrid electric vehicles and vehicle components. [7]
The AgustaWestland Project Zero is a hybrid tiltrotor/Lift fan aircraft. It has been developed by AgustaWestland as a technology demonstrator, and is used to investigate all-electric propulsion and other advanced technologies. It is the world's first electric tiltrotor aircraft. [1]
Makin Island is the eighth ship of the Wasp class, but features noteworthy technological advances. Changes from the previous LHD design include gas turbine main propulsion engines, all-electric auxiliaries, an advanced machinery control system, water-mist fire-protection systems, and the Navy's most advanced command and control and combat systems equipment.
A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a type of hybrid vehicle that couples a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) with one or more electric engines into a combined propulsion system. The presence of the electric powertrain , which has inherently better energy conversion efficiency , is intended to achieve either better fuel economy or ...
Heart Aerospace is developing the ES-30, a 30-seat hybrid-electric regional airliner, which aims to deliver sustainability and efficiency on short-haul routes. With an electric range of 200 kilometres and an extended hybrid range of 400 kilometres it will dramatically reduce CO2 emissions from short-haul flights. A range of 800 km could be ...
To develop the PHEV school bus, Navistar will examine a range of hybrid architectures and evaluate advanced energy storage devices, with the goal of developing a vehicle with a 40-mile (64 km) electric range. Travel beyond the 40-mile (64 km) range will be facilitated by a clean Diesel engine capable of running on renewable fuels.
