The Future of Vehicle EfficiencyIs Kinetic
Flywheel-powered drivetrains that capture 95% of braking energy, double fuel efficiency, and cost less than what you're using today.
Fleet Operators Face an Impossible Choice
Current alternatives remain inadequate. Both options leave money on the table.
Traditional ICE
- Heavy, bulky drivetrains
- Wastes 87% of braking energy
- Rising fuel costs (25-40% of budget)
- High maintenance and repair costs
Battery Electric
- Extremely expensive ($26.8K drivetrain)
- Heavy batteries (1,000+ lbs)
- Range anxiety and charging infrastructure
- Battery degradation concerns
There's a third way
Introducing Kinetic Drive
Mechanical energy storage that captures 95% of braking energy. The flywheel stores energy mechanically during braking, releases it for acceleration.
Improved Efficiency
KineticDrive captures energy from both the engine (even when idling) and vehicles' momentum when braking. This usually wasted energy provides considerable savings.
Ultra-Torque
KineticDrive's captured energy can deliver unmatched torque to the rear axles to accelerate the vehicle, which in turn minimizes the energy required from the engine.
How It Works
When a vehicle brakes, most kinetic energy is normally wasted as heat. Our system captures this energy and stores it in a high-speed flywheel.
As the driver accelerates, the flywheel releases stored energy to the drivetrain, reducing fuel consumption or battery draw. The engine or motor operates primarily when additional power is needed.
Built for Fleet Scale
Kinetic Drive delivers the efficiency gains of advanced technology without the cost and infrastructure burden of full electrification.
Lower Cost
60-70% less than EV drivetrains. $8K-$15.5K vs $26.8K for comparable systems.
Fuel Agnostic
Works with gasoline, diesel, electric, or hydrogen. Adapt without replacing technology.
Drop-In Ready
Fits existing vehicle platforms. No new infrastructure required.
Less Maintenance
Simpler mechanical system with no battery degradation. Minimal upkeep required.
Lighter Weight
350 lbs lighter than V6 drivetrain. Better payload capacity and handling.
Extended Range
700-mile range combo-excited. No charging stops, no range anxiety.
Head-to-Head Comparison
Lower cost, longer range, better efficiency—all in one system.
