Enova Introduces New Series Hybrid Drive Systems for Heavy-Duty Urban Transportation Applications.TORRANCE, Calif. -- Enova Systems, Torrance, California (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :ENVA ENVA École Nationale Vétérinaire d'Alfort (France) ENVA Essential Non-Value Added ), a developer and manufacturer of electric, hybrid-electric, and fuel cell powered drive systems, announced today the immediate availability of its newest series hybrid drive A hard disk drive that contains a built-in, non-volatile cache comprised of flash memory. Reads and writes go through the cache first, enabling the platters to remain at rest most of the time. For laptop computers especially, the less the disk rotates, the less power is used. systems for heavy-duty, urban transit and delivery vehicles. These leading edge, fuel efficient and environmentally friendly Environmentally friendly, also referred to as nature friendly, is a term used to refer to goods and services considered to inflict minimal harm on the environment.[1] hybrid systems are applicable for Class 5 through Class 7 trucks as well as mid-sized to large urban transit buses. Enova introduced its new "Hybrid Power Hybrid Power in this context describes the combination of a power producer and the means to store that power in an energy storage medium. In power engineering, the term 'hybrid' does not mean a "method," such as the popular use of hybrid to mean a vehicle like the Toyota " series hybrid drive systems this week at the Electric Drive Transportation Association's annual trade show and symposium in Orlando, Florida The city of Orlando is a major city in central Florida and is the county seat of Orange County, Florida. According to the 2000 census, the city population was 185,951. A 2006 U.S. and showcased a Class 8 truck equipped with this innovative new system in the ride and drive exhibit. Ideally suited for heavy duty urban delivery and urban transit applications, these systems include a high torque electric drive system, all electric accessories, energy management, energy storage, and power generation. The Company's new hybrid systems can also be configured to generate alternating current electricity for other applications such as plug-in power tools. Enova's new diesel generator, the power component within the system, delivers 60 kilowatts of continuous power and integrates seamlessly with Enova's 120kW and 240kW drive systems and its other digital power management components. The generator is powered by a 2.5 liter Euro-3 turbo diesel and power generation is controlled by the on-board energy management system. The driver has the option of turning off the generator when silent operation is preferred. In an urban transit or urban delivery cycle, Enova's series hybrid drive systems are expected to deliver 40 to 60% in fuel savings, reduced brake maintenance costs, and significant reduction in nitrous oxide nitrous oxide or nitrogen (I) oxide, chemical compound, N2O, a colorless gas with a sweetish taste and odor. Its density is 1.977 grams per liter at STP. It is soluble in water, alcohol, ether, and other solvents. (NOx), carbon monoxide carbon monoxide, chemical compound, CO, a colorless, odorless, tasteless, extremely poisonous gas that is less dense than air under ordinary conditions. It is very slightly soluble in water and burns in air with a characteristic blue flame, producing carbon dioxide; (CO), and other particulate matter emissions when compared with conventional internal combustion diesel powered vehicles in a similar environment. "Our newest drive systems offer a total solution for heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers and operators who seek to increase fuel economy and reduce operating costs as well as harmful emissions. As both U.S. and international governments and communities continue to mandate alternative energy solutions for these significant consumers of fossil fuels, demand for our hybrid systems will continue to accelerate," commented Ed Riddell, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Enova. "This latest addition to our line of electric, hybrid-electric and fuel cell hybrid systems will enable the company to aggressively market our products as a complete power train package." Enova Systems develops and produces advanced systems including software, firmware and hardware for applications in the growing alternative power industry. The Company's focus is digital power conversion, power management, and system integration, for two broad market applications -- vehicle power generation and stationary power generation.
