KersTech, Inc. develops, builds (USA sourcing), and markets hydraulic torque systems for Class 4 through 8 truck and bus drivetrains that have intense start-stop drive cycles. A KersTech TwinTorq(TM) system increases overall system energy efficiency. That translates into: 1) Increased range, 2) Slower battery aging, 3) Faster recharge cycles (smaller charger infrastructure), 4) Better cold-weather energy usage, 5) Option to use e-motors without Permanent Magnets (strategic sourcing), 6) Lower Total Cost of Ownership. KersTech works with vehicle manufacturers and drivetrain up-fitters of school and city transit buses along with a range of truck types including refuse/recycle/garbage, beverage, freight/delivery, and port hostlers depending on drive cycle profiles. KersTech has been granted 4 patents for hydraulic-hybrid drivetrain configurations, drivetrain control systems, and innovative electric motor-brake architectures.
