U.S. patent # 8,941,251.
Professor Lei Zuo, the lead inventor of the patent, and the director of the National Science Foundation Center for Energy Harvesting of Materials and Systems. Said, "I'm very glad Guident is commercializing this important and highly efficient new technology, which will enable vehicles to be more sustainable by increasing their driving range and improving their ride comfort."
"Electric vehicle manufacturers are seeking to cost-effectively increase the driving range of their vehicles. Recapturing a vehicle's kinetic energy through regenerative shock absorbers could contribute to this objective and thus move the world toward increasingly energy efficient mobility." said Ron Tarro, director, and vice president, investment sourcing and screening, New World Angels.
"We are very excited to announce the acquisition of the exclusive rights to this remarkable technology and we're immediately moving forward to fabricate regenerative shock absorbers for testing by leading automotive companies," says Harald Braun, Chairman & CEO of Guident.
