This innovation introduces a Hybrid Transmission System (the System) that goes beyond conventional mild hybrid configurations. While typical setups manage only torque from the internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric machine (EM), this System enables precise control of both torque and RPM, placing the hybrid set consistently near its maximum efficiency range and avoiding high-emission operating zones.

The key is a simple, robust mechanical architecture that replaces the traditional gearbox, freeing up space and weight for hybrid technologies. The System allows a hybrid control unit to dynamically select, blend, and transmit the most efficient combination of EM and ICE power, responding in real time to the vehicle's driving conditions.

By controlling clutches and brakes that connect the energy sources to regulated planetary gear systems, the control unit modulates the input/output ratio of RPM and power, allowing for progressive acceleration from standstill to cruising speed—eliminating the need for a traditional gearbox.

Core components such as planetary gears, clutches, and brakes are well-known, proven, and available off the shelf from existing automotive suppliers. The same applies to the hybrid kit parts, making the System compatible with mass production and aftermarket integration.

Computer simulations were conducted using a Ford Kuga/Escape as the test platform. Results showed remarkable fuel savings compared to a conventional configuration:

• 47% in Artemis Urban cycle
• 15.6% in WLTC cycle
• 4% in highway-only scenarios with no sacrifice in acceleration or drivability.

The System enables multiple hybrid modes, from pure ICE or full electric to plug-in hybrid or any blend in between. It’s ideal for retrofitting commercial fleets, such as postal and urban delivery vehicles, with a compelling value proposition:

• Over 40% fuel savings in urban use
• Electric-only mode for restricted city zones
• Improved torque and acceleration
• Reduced ICE wear, operating consistently near peak efficiency

As the EV hype fades, even leaders like HORSE Powertrain are now offering hybridization kits for electric vehicles. It’s clear that scalable, efficient hybrid configurations will play a crucial role in decarbonizing transport. Among them, this System offers the most efficient mechanical solution to hybridize existing combustion-powered vehicles—quickly, affordably, and at scale.

The System is particularly suited for markets where full electrification remains unaffordable or impractical, offering an immediate, scalable pathway to emissions reduction. It requires no charging infrastructure, operates with existing ICE architecture, and leverages proven components for cost-effective mass adoption.

Unlike purely software-based energy management strategies, this System introduces a mechanical advantage that fundamentally enhances efficiency at the source—the drivetrain—offering performance gains that are measurable, replicable, and not reliant on subsidies or future regulations.

Its strength lies in its technical simplicity, mechanical logic, and immediate applicability—key enablers for real-world impact at global scale.

We welcome collaboration opportunities with R&D centers, fleet owners, suppliers or engineering teams interested in prototyping, testing, or deploying this system in real-world applications.

This is not just an invention—it's a mission to make sustainable transport accessible, now. The transition won’t wait, and neither will we.
