Torvec's New Green Hybrid Technology

Marketwired
Torvec (OTCBB: TOVC) announced today that its patented IVT gearing
allows for design flexibility so that the company can create a
Power Split Device (PSD) for Gas Electric Hybrid Technology.
Working with NASA on an all electric version of the company's IVT
for the next generation Lunar Rover has lead to this breakthrough
configuration for hybrid vehicles.
Recently the U.S. Government has set aside hundreds of millions
of dollars for advancements in hybrid technology, through the
Department of Energy for which the company believes it would
qualify.
The term PSD is essentially a transmission with more then one
power source (i.e. gas/diesel engine & electric motor powered
by a battery pack). The Toyota� Prius� is the number one selling
hybrid in the world, and it is the standard on which hybrid
technology is judged. Since Toyota's PSD is patented and is the key
to their success, other automakers have tried to circumvent
Toyota's technology with limited success. Torvec's patented PSD has
the ability to level the playing field for companies that compete
with Toyota and their Prius PSD technology. Torvec's technology
will function similarly to Toyota's, with the same driver feel and
performance and with future investigation might afford several
advantages over Toyota's technology.
This PSD technology is ideal for compact to full sized vehicles,
while Torvec's Hydraulic IVT design will afford larger vehicles
greater fuel savings over the stock vehicle.
