CHICAGO Recaptured Energy Technologies has announced a new cost savings solution to help fleet managers reduce fuel consumption and keep their budgets under control. The company has developed a new hydraulic braking and propulsion system for fleet, commercial and transit vehicles that can be retrofit to existing vehicles. The system captures wasted brake energy from frequent braking and converts it to an auxiliary source of energy to power the vehicle, significantly increasing fuel efficiency.
“In addition to the obvious advantage of lower fuel costs, the unique benefit of our system is that it can be retrofit to existing vehicles, so there is no need to purchase new alternative-energy vehicles that may not provide anticipated fuel economy,” said Sam Jones, president of Recaptured Energy Technologies.
