About Turbo Trac - The Company
Turbo Trac U.S. A. is a clean technology company. Its innovative technology, an
Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) reduces industrial system energy consumption and
improves operation control. Because system components operate at their peak efficiency,
maintenance costs are also reduced.
These energy and cost reductions are achieved by decoupling the prime mover operating
output speed from the driven unit's input speed. This allows each of the units to be
operated at their most efficient speed and meet the systems through-put requirements.
Our patented technology can be applied to many different applications and the capital
productivity and energy conservation advantages lead directly to profitability
improvements.
The new technology can improve efficiency of the combined power source and output
device. In practical applications, it results in energy savings in the combined unit of
10-30% depending on the application. Turbo Trac is focusing on applications in the
following four market areas:
Turbo Trac's first project is developing an infinitely variable (ratio) transmission (IVT) for
heavy duty commercial vehicles. This design will reduce fuel consumption and Green
House Gas (GHG) emissions by 15-30%. A major competitive advantage of this design is
the ability to handle the torque loads of heavy-duty diesel engines, something that other
current IVT designs have been unable to do.
The Turbo Trac patented design, embraces products, services, and processes that are
designed to provide superior performance at lower costs while being ecologically sound.
The term "clean" and "green" describes our technology since it was developed to enable
more valuable use of natural resources and to reduce the ecological impact of energy
consumption.
The global transportation industry is reshaping itself in response to powerful
technological, economic, and consumer forces. Consumer and commercial demand is
increasingly focused on energy use reduction, improved fuel economy, improved user
comfort, climate change and air quality concerns. Combined, these forces are creating a
business environment of rapid technology adoption. This is a means to stay competitive
and to respond to these newly created pressures, leading to extraordinary business
opportunities for clean technology transportation and industrial companies.
While the commercial truck and bus industry have long been blamed as a major polluter, it
is also one that is working hard to improving the environment. John Boesel at WestStart,
says that "between fuel economy pressures and environmental regulations, the bus and
truck industry is going through a period of rapid change. We believe that this is a time of
great opportunity for those manufacturers and fleets that are forward-looking and willing
to make use of the best technology."
