Objective

NESS is the most efficient and cost-effective dual hybrid (electric- fuel) solution and reduces 13-18% vehicles’ fuel consumption, CO2- and NOx emissions. It also converts fossil-fuelled gasoline- and diesel cars into Hybrid Electric Vehicles (H-EVs) ready for 100% climate neutral renewable fuels, such as e-fuels, H2 gas and 2nd gen biofuels. NESS converts both new- and existing cars as a plug n’ play retrofit product conversion.
It consists of an add-on component that goes attached to the engine’s alternator and turbocharger, forming a fully modular solution adaptable to all types of engine- and vehicle sizes.
The savings are attained thanks to various functionalities that reduce the consumption of the vehicle in different ways depending on the drive mode the vehicle runs; exhaust gas energy recovery works at cruising, regenerative breaking when breaking, energy boosting functions at accelerating and stop & start functions when the vehicle is stationary.
