What is G-Force?
G-Force is an advanced yet compact hybridization system engineered for heavy-duty vehicles equipped with a power take-off (PTO). By integrating seamlessly into the existing vehicle architecture, G-Force enables a dramatic increase in fuel efficiency, performance, and operational flexibility. It's designed for fleets that want to modernize without investing in fully electric drivetrains or overhauling their combustion engines.
Whether you're in public transportation, waste management, or defense, G-Force offers a scalable and cost-effective solution to meet both environmental regulations and performance goals.
Benefits
- Fuel Savings: Most heavy-duty fuel is consumed during acceleration. G-Force delivers a strategic boost at this point, reducing overall fuel consumption by 12–20%, which translates to thousands of dollars in savings annually per vehicle.
- Reduced Engine Wear: By offloading the demand on the engine during peak load moments and idling, G-Force extends the life of internal components and reduces the frequency of costly repairs and downtime.
- Instant Power Boost: The G-Force system supplies 80–130 additional horsepower on demand, significantly improving throttle response and giving your vehicle the push it needs when it matters most—such as hills, traffic starts, or heavy load maneuvers.
Use Cases
- Municipal Fleets: Vehicles such as garbage trucks and utility service vehicles benefit from constant stop-and-go efficiency. G-Force lowers both operating noise and emissions—ideal for urban service areas with strict environmental standards.
- Transit Systems: City buses equipped with G-Force see enhanced ride quality through smoother acceleration, quieter operation, and increased uptime due to less engine stress. It improves both driver and passenger experience.
- Military Vehicles: Tactical advantages include reduced acoustic and thermal signatures, idle-free power generation for onboard electronics, and the ability to operate silently in sensitive environments—all while maintaining rugged field performance.
Technical Specs
- Horsepower Boost: Delivers between 80–130 HP (60–97 kW) through a high-torque DC motor directly to the PTO shaft.
- Fuel Savings: Reduces consumption by up to 20% depending on application and duty cycle.
- Charging Methods: Regeneratively charged via braking energy and rotational input from the PTO shaft, no plug-in required.
- Battery System: High-efficiency capacitor bank designed for fast discharge and recharge cycles with minimal thermal output.
- APU Capability: Optional configuration allows operation of HVAC systems, auxiliary tools, and onboard electronics without engine idling.
- Enclosure: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum housing optimized for durability and thermal management.
