NRG Dynamix, Inc. expects to hire 8-10 additional engineers at its research facility in Deerfield, MI. The staffing increase to 35 comes as the company readies its NRG Drive System for production in 2011. “NRG Drive is a hybrid system that makes sense,” says NRG Dynamix President and Chief Technology Officer, James O’Brien II. “It delivers up to 60 percent better fuel economy, reduces emissions up to 90 percent and...

I recently read an article in Automotive News about “Zero Emission Vehicles.” The article was about the ‘reinvention’ of a car company, but it struck me that the people mentioned and quoted in the article actually believe a zero emission vehicle can be built. My short assessment of this is that “Zero Emission” is akin to “Perpetual Motion.” Just as friction always eventually brings a moving object to...

The biggest gains in fuel economy and emissions reductions will come when we remove the mechanical link between the engine and wheels. De-coupling the engine load from the road load allows the engine to run continually at or near maximum efficiency. A hydraulic hybrid does that, and offers more potential for greater fuel efficiency gains and emission reductions right now – more than electric hybrids, full electrics, and alternative fuels....
