The
Scuderi Air hybrid vehicle
Tuesday,
October 24, 2006
The
Scuderi
Group is set to show off
its air hybrid vehicle at the SAE
Commercial Vehicle Engineering
Congress and Exhibition
Oct. 31- Nov. 2.
"The innovations in the
design of the Scuderi engine
reduces the cost of diesel
systems by eliminating or
dramatically reducing three of
the most expensive and complex
parts of a diesel system -
turbo charging, injectors and
exhaust treatment," said
Sal Scuderi, president of The
Scuderi Group. "Because
of the inherent design
advantages of the Scuderi
Air-Hybrid diesel engine, we
estimate that this engine can
lower the cost of diesel
engines by as much as 40-50
percent. We strongly believe
that the Scuderi Air-Hybrid
engine is the diesel engine
design of the future."
The Scuderi group also
believes that Air diesel
hybrids are more effective
than electric hybrids because
of the complex technology
required by electric hybrid
cars. I say, perhaps in the
short term, but not in the
long term. Whether gasoline or
diesel, the world needs to get
off oil. The air hybrid is
nowhere near accomplishing
that goal.
