Wrightspeed was founded by a former founder of Tesla, Wright. It all started in a simple premise that he applied massive sustainability gains of electric motors for the least sustainable vehicles on the road. Consequently, the electric motors technology, batteries and a gas turbine offers logging, vehicles with multi-ton engine with 60 percent better fuel efficiency and 0 percent the emissions of pollutants. Recently, the company landed the opportunity to install technology to old carriages of the city of New Zealand next year as part of an agreement of $ 30 million recently announced.
CEO of NZ Bus, Zane Fulljames, said powertrain Wrightspeed outperformed the competition on almost every metric and give him the flexibility of the fuel source and economically compelling technology for sustainability their transit assets. The idea is not to replace the old dirty diesel buses running on the city, but to share with own transport system.
high-tech engine Wrightspeed may not be suitable for all heavy vehicles. It might be suitable for heavy vehicles that need more power for climbing hills and works long hours. Therefore engines such as the Prius could work on a car or a taxi, but the engine installation Wrightspeed to a car or a taxi might not be worth the extra investment. engine installation for school buses might not work either as school buses only active a few hours a day.
The Wrightspeed offer with NZ Bus is considered a movement beyond the provision of delivery vehicles and to a larger market for its sustainable technology. As said Wright, a city car like Prius has burned about 150-0 liters per year and has done very cleanly. He added that a garbage truck could go through 14,000 liters per year, which means more pollution and more savings potential.
