Escondido firm TransPower on cutting edge of electric big rigs
From The San Diego Union Tribune, February 4, 2017.
Inside a 28,000-square-foot nondescript building off Auto Parkway in Escondido, Mike Simon and his team of 45 TransPower employees are shaping the future of large electric vehicles like big rig trucks and school buses.
Funded almost exclusively by government grants and contracts aimed at reducing the country’s dependence on fossil fuels, TransPower has clients all over the world clamoring for the businesses’ experimental technology.

System I want to introduce is titled, the Reaction Drive System (RDS). Applying the RDS to the class-8 tractor chassis, will reduce the loading effect of the trailer by, 80% to 90%. Operation at this level, reduces the electrical load on the battery system, using the amplified force from the RDS and drive-train of the tractor, during the process of developing motion for the combination vehicles. In basic terms, the RDS accepts input force, and develops an amplified horizontal force, that is applied to the goose-neck of the trailer. When the level of horizontal force developed by the RDS, exceeds the loading effect of the trailer, motion will develop for the tractor and trailer, as it follows behind the tractor.
I am prepared to forward data to explain the process that will reduce the load on the battery and allow significant range extension. Applying the RDS to diesel vehicles will provide the same function to increase the level of fuel economy. This is an amazingly simple system that can promote significant fuel economy. Battery operation can be extended to several hundred miles above present capabilities, and all that is needed is for you to respond to my message.
