Breaking the 100mpg barrier

To date, 92 mpg is the best we have achieved using our fuel vapor system and a standard internal combustion engine. Because our focus is on breaking the 100mpg barrier and winning the X-PRIZE our next prototype will be a series hybrid. It will use electric power for most of its time on the road with longer distances being accomplished using a small on-board “range extending “generator running on regular gasoline and our fuel vapor system. This prototype will be built and ready for testing this summer.

Competing in the X-PRIZE

FVT will use the “Automotive X-PRIZE” competition as a platform to market our company, the car and our technologies to the world. We are one of only 2 Canadian entries in this international competition that currently involves 7 countries and 50+ teams in a race to find the world’s fastest and most fuel efficient vehicle. With oil prices hitting $100 per barrel, global warming, and energy alternatives all becoming water cooler discussions, the eyes of the world will be on this competition and FVT will be on the world stage. The alé will stand out as one of the few “original design” vehicles as most companies are using pre-existing cars for the race.


Production

Production is planned just after the X-PRIZE competition starting with 100-200 hand built vehicles per year. Once the production line is perfected, FVT will partner with another company that has the capacity to increase production to 10,000 units per year.

The Technologies

FVT is developing technologies in the following areas:
Fuel Vapor technology
Plug-in series hybrid drive systems
Vehicle-to-grid and grid-to-vehicle technologies
Composite vehicle construction materials
Battery management systems
Proprietary hybrid cooling systems

^ comparing comments on spiked videos, to comments on youtube videos is so jarring it may cause a psychotic break.

The xp/voting system for comments and videos on spiked is surely the key to why this place hasn`t descended into the pit off ass, monkey pox, and ebola that is youtube.

Using spiked has become such a habit, more than watching TV, that it`s surely only weeks away from being shut down by Viacom and getting sued out of existence. This is too good for it to last I fear :~(

@Neon: X-prize owns. Get a commercial craft into space, get a +100m/g vehicle. It`s just a fucking competition - yet it`s produced results that destroy anything national governments have been able to achieve in the last 20-30 years. If they make an x-prize for gene therapy that treats cancer and other serious illnesses, I wonder if they`d beat governments and the private sector to that goal, too.

Oil companies fucked us, they`re keeping this technology out of consumers hands for their own financial gain.

@Otab :

My suspicion also, quite wise of them not to jump on that bandwagon though.

The best is to keep it to yourself, then when somebody else proves it ...you join it :)

Just like priests and pedophilia... before they call you crazy if you say a priest molested you .. now that its out and proven .. you become rich man.
