| The future of hybrid technology |
|
The Tri-Hybrid Stealth is the next generation ExerTrike. It is a two seat, 3-wheeled vehicle that is completely enclosed and ready to exceed all the requirements set forth by the Progressive Insurance Auto X Prize Board. Furthermore, it will be the first hybrid vehicle to offer exclusive hand controls and an automated extendable seat for handicapped drivers. We have confidence in our technology because its predecessor, ExerTrike Tri-Hybrid, went 1,000 miles from Tennessee to Texas on Inderstate 40 legally. It achieved 320 miles per gallon never traveling below 45 MPH and topping out at 62 MPH. It went as far as 160 miles at one time. We have full confidence that we can add the size and weight necessary for a 2-seat vehicle that will go 80+ MPH and maintain 45 MPH on steeper grades. With the knowledge that we have gained with these trials we have learned that the increases in speed and power cannot possibly pull our proven performance below 100 miles per gallon. The Tri-Hybrid Stealth will indeed be a new animal in the hybrid series of vehicles, as we are working to combine the newest and most reliable technology with an effective design. Every possible variable has been taken into account with the construction of this new hybrid, and we fully expect it to exceed every expectation during the Progressive Auto X Prize competition. |
