Hybrid vehicles are proven to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.New heavy hybrid vehiclesare gradually becoming available from established truck and bus manufacturers (OEMs). However, due to their expensive hybrid premium – the cost of the hybrid system over a comparable non-hybrid vehicle – customers' Return On Investment is low and adoption is currently less than 1% of new vehicle sales. Click for an explanation of OEM heavy vehicle hybrid technology.Retrofit hybrid systems can provide hybrid savings and benefits to existing vehicles for a fraction of the price of a new hybrid vehicle.KersTech is a parallel hybrid retrofitfor automotive applications, particularly heavy vehicles that start/stop frequently, such as school and city buses, garbage, utility and beverage trucks. The KersTech system is also suited to military, construction, agricultural, mining, yard/port hostlers and OEM vehicle applications.KersTech's TorqPak Hybrid Drive architecture enables the use of Large Diameter, Flat-Format (LDFF), high efficiency, high torque electric and hydraulic motors in limited underbody, chassis & driveline space. The KersTech system is non-invasive and can be installed on the vehicle driveline in 1 to 2 work shifts.
