Negative Curvature Carbon

A Bus with a High Energy Density Battery and a High Power Battery

NaS batteries operate at high temperatures, which could be an advantage for Northern cities like Toronto.

Mitsubishi Prototype Hybrid Energy Storage

Mitsubishi experiments with an anode shared by the capacitor and the battery, each of which have a cathode and a separator.

Maxwell Ultracapacitor Modules for Diesel Hybrid Buses

DaimlerChrysler has extensive experience with diesel-electric serial hybrid buses, but it may be Chinese manufacturers that will sieze the market. Much still depends upon viable energy storage.

Zero Motorcycles – 24 Hours of Electricross

Superlight frames give a competitive advantage to the EV; the race will feature those EVs with the best power to weight ratio.

Bosch KERS Kits

An excellent application of kinetic energy recovery systems is in medium-duty transportation frequently operated during stop and go traffic in an urban setting. There is mounting evidence of the benefit of KERS in public livery.

Connaught HYBRID+ System

Like the Hybrid Booster Drive, Connaught's retrofit hybrid system uses ultra capacitors exclusively. The small diesel delivery vans are more efficient because of addition of a system for storing and re-using electric power produced by regenerative braking.
