Hybrid ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) Retrofits

The billions of ICEs have served humanity for >1.5 centuries ushering in modern civilization. They are of 2-stroke/4-stroke cycles, each having compression-/spart ignitions called ‘diesel/gasoline’, respectively. Each of these 4 has pro-&-con and serves in different applications. The “heart” of ICEs is the piston which reciprocates inside the combustion chamber to turn fuel into work.

Hybrid Transmission System for Blending Torque and Power Efficiency Between Engines & Final Transmission Shaft

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.

INLARS - Intelligent Lane Release

INLARS is a novel, innovative, and revolutionary concept with no direct competitors; consequently, it has never been tested. When an ambulance needs to respond to an emergency, traffic congestion in major cities often delays rescue efforts or aid to victims. INLARS aims to solve this problem, while also assisting firefighters and police with urgent, time-sensitive operations.

Narrow-Profile Gyroscopically Stabilized Ambulance

This project proposes a fully enclosed, narrow-profile ambulance vehicle based on a motorcycle architecture enhanced with electronic gyroscopic stabilization. The system enables the vehicle to maintain balance at low speeds and at full stop, eliminating the primary limitation of two-wheeled emergency platforms while preserving their agility.

With an approximate width of 110–120 cm,
