Eco Factor: Hybrid Retrofit Kit developed by Tennessee researchers.
As most auto makers are launching the plug-in hybrid variants of their most popular models, a research team at the Middle Tennessee State University and Tennessee Tech University has unveiled a breakthrough Plug-in Hybrid Retrofit Kit that can convert any regular automobile to a hybrid.
The kit allows car owners to convert their regular gas guzzlers into hybrid vehicles by retrofitting them with a small electrical system that easily mounts in the space between the electrical system and the inside diameter of the rear wheel of most cars. The system is expected to deliver an extra 10-20hp of power per wheel, which reduce fuel usage.
