Energy storage for rugged applications

High power with the right amount of energy

More off-road industries are now looking to effectively hybridize their vehicles to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. With a higher power density than batteries and a higher energy density than hydraulic systems, flywheels are the "right size" for hybrid off-road vehicles. Our flywheel systems are a perfect enabler to accelerate your hybrid vehicle research, design and demonstration programs.

Uses of flywheel for off-road applications

Flywheel energy storage systems (ESS) are durable and rugged, delivering high cycle tolerance and extremely long life. The use of ESS in heavy off-road vehicles is relatively new, but a few suggested applications include:

• Anti-idling
• Power boost
• Engine transient leveling
• Regenerative braking
• Engine downsizing (see our motorsports page for more information)
• Gravitational energy harvesting (see our lifting devices page for more information)

Industry applications

Flywheel ESS are applicable in many industries including:

• Forestry
• Mining
• Construction
• Agriculture
• Waste and recycling
• Oil and gas

Our reliable, durable, long life systems give you the ability to do more work.
