Company develops technology it claims is more efficient than electric hybrids.
DEERFIELD,Mich,USA -Associated Press/Detroit News -June 29, 2005: -- James O'Brien, owner Hybra-Drive Systems, is attracting the attention of onlookers not only in Michigan but from around the world, from Canada to Taiwan... During the past three years, has developed a full hydraulic-hybrid system and is rushing to install it in a delivery truck belonging to Arrow Uniform. Working with Arrow and Kettering University in Flint, known for vehicle engineering expertise, the business plans to have its first hybrid vehicle operating by the end of the year, O'Brien said... "This new powertrain is more efficient than electric hybrid powertrains being used in such cars as Toyota Prius and Ford Escape", ... and predicts vehicles that will have his system in place will achieve a 65 percent to 75 percent improvement in fuel economy. Most vehicles are expected to reach around 50 miles per gallon, he said.
