Investment Opportunity: Hybrid-Electric Drive Trains

The many different varieties of hybrid electric and pure electric vehicles are an extremely important component of our ability to achieve our aggressive targets associated with vehicle emissions, yet this is a far more complicated and dynamic arena than most people realize. Many thousands of the world’s top engineers are working tirelessly to optimize all the various factors:

Minimizing the cost of batteries, as well as the size and weight (thus maximizing the volumetric and gravimetric energy and power density).

Right-sizing the internal combustion engine that can either charge the batteries in a series hybrid or provide power directly to the drive-shaft in a parallel hybrid, or, optimally, do both, automatically switching in real-time depending on the nature of the demand for power and the state of charge of the battery.

Offering “power export” for other operations, e.g., lifting a telescoping aerial lift for a utility truck, the robotics for garbage trucks, etc.

Again, the subject company stands as the world’s leader in this all-important space.
