Using power dense flywheel hybrid technology to cut fuel consumption of OH equipment

Flywheel hybrid system developer Flybrid is creating a family of flywheel modules designed to enhance productivity and cut operating costs of off-highway vehicles and construction equipment. Designed to supplement the main powertrain, the modules can be connected hydraulically, mechanically or electrically.

Flybrid, part of the Torotrak Group, has developed its KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) for applications ranging from F1 race cars to buses. But now it is widening its technology spectrum.
