Dana Holding Corporation (NYSE: DAN) introduced Spicer® PowerBoost™, a new line of integrated hydraulic-hybrid powertrain concepts for the off-highway market that will be introduced at Bauma 2013.
Deployed through series or parallel hybrid configurations that fit into existing vehicle designs with minimal adaptation, Spicer PowerBoost supplements all types of transmission architectures.
Spicer PowerBoost captures kinetic energy otherwise wasted throughout the drivetrain and working hydraulics, and then uses this recuperated energy to help power the vehicle, which can reduce fuel consumption by 20 to 40 percent compared to conventional drivetrain concepts, depending on vocational application and duty cycle. Spicer PowerBoost can also reduce total owning and operating costs by increasing productivity, reducing maintenance, and allowing for the use of a downsized engine.
Functional prototypes demonstrating the performance of the system will be available for field testing by OEMs in the second quarter of 2013.
