Fallbrook plans to further develop its NuVinci DeltaSeries technology, which would allow it to cut costs in these types of vehicles. Looking at the results of a test conducted earlier this year, Fallbrook found that its technology, when paired to a 210cc AC compressor, managed to generate fuel savings of up to $1,500 for bus air conditioning systems.
The NuVinci transmission uses a set of rotating and tilting balls positioned between the input and output components, making it ideal for extending the capabilities of light electric vehicles.
For the task at hand, Fallbrook will partner with Advanced Strategic Leadership (ASL) Partners, a company which specializes in automotive consulting and technology development. ASL is the company which owns the rights to operate an electric vehicle design center in Shanghai.
"Getting governmental support is a big factor to ensuring the best possible chances for significant adoption within the Chinese automotive industry, and came about because of our initial success in leveraging Fallbrook's technology in the region," said Rudolph Schlais, ASL Partners chairman.
“We firmly believe that this revolutionary technology will bring about similar benefits in terms of increased performance and range for electric vehicles, and are looking forward to developing that potential in the near future."
