We are working hard to ecomod commercially available off-the-shelf components to make a cutting edge diesel-electric hybrid power train.
The major component manufacturers are VW, Honda, and Integrated Fuel Technologies. We feel very strongly that, by focusing on efficiency and effective integration of components that were outstanding in their own right, we can achieve our goal without sacrificing performance.
We also firmly believe that ingenuity is alive and well worldwide. That's why we've included a "Technical Difficulties" category. This a place for fellow ecomodders to keep on eye on the project and offer improvements or suggestions to solve real technical problems encountered. What can RLR offer in return? Not much more than credit and a sense of accomplishment and the assurance that this project will remain open source for all of those who would like to follow in our footsteps. The goal isn't about making money. It's about having a blast learning how to use technology available in the market place while making a more responsible vehicle for the planet.
