Hi All, Here is an interesting article: ADP TRW Article TRW apparently was deep into HSD like vehicle power transfer in the 1970s, and then again in the early 90's. They got a 30 % FE improvement in a standard 70's era car chasis and higher loss electronics. But could not find a U.S. car maker with the fortitude to do what it takes to make money in the modern world.

If anyone is interested, more read up on the patent here: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/3566717.pdf
