New Recaptured Energy System Can Be Retrofit
Unique Hydraulic Braking, Propulsion System
Reduces Vehicle Fuel Consumption, Carbon Footprint
CHICAGO, Illinois Ð October
28, 2008 Ð Recaptured Energy
Technologies has developed a new hydraulic braking and propulsion system for
fleet, commercial and transit vehicles that can be retrofit to existing
vehicles. The system captures
wasted brake energy from frequent braking and converts it to an auxiliary
source of energy to power the vehicle, increasing fuel efficiency and reducing
harmful emissions.
ÒThe unique benefit of our
system is that it can be retrofit to existing vehicles, so there is no need to
purchase new alternative-energy vehicles that may not provide anticipated fuel
economy,Ó said Sam Jones, president of Recaptured Energy Technologies. ÒBecause the system is specifically designed
to be retrofit, existing vehicles will see lower emissions, less engine
management and reduced fuel consumption.Ó
Recaptured Energy also
offers consulting services, including Drive Cycle Analysis, Asset Utilization
Analysis and Return on Investment Analysis. From the evaluation of hybrid technologies and drive cycle
characteristics to the examination of route specific variables, Recaptured
Energy provides the testing and analysis necessary for decision makers to best
utilize their fleet assets, maximizing fuel economy and improving overall rate
of return.
