Fuel Efficiencies aren't important?
"Need: Quantum leap in fuel efficiency
Torvec Solution: IVT™"
This is copied from the Torvec website under the Technology and Innovation section. 4.5% is a quantum leap?
This is from 8/6/04 torvec press release. According to this the auto industry is interested in fuel savings? I'm really confused now. It says "at the request of the automotive industry"
"However, the American SUV market is primarily for gasoline powered vehicles, and given the worldwide oil crisis it is impossible for the automotive companies to tool up and place diesel powered engines in a majority of the vehicles over a short time horizon. Therefore, at the request of the automotive industry, Torvec is responding to the crisis by putting its transmission in a gasoline powered GM Tahoe. A new design incorporating the improvements from the Dodge tests has been manufactured. Each automotive company has their own design specific to their product line, so the transmission tested in the Dodge cannot simply be placed in the GM Tahoe. Torvec’s IVT™ fits within the current configuration of the production GM Tahoe. We need not make any modifications. This is especially important to the OEMs (auto manufacturers) for rapid installation and deployment, while being extremely cost effective to make this change. Torvec’s IVT™ has 166 parts compared to 740 parts for an automatic transmission."
