" CAP-XX has achieved sales of small supercapacitors to two leading German car makers, one directly and one via a distributor and the Company is in advanced negotiations with a North American Tier-1 component supplier to address the market for both large and small supercapacitor devices."
"Recently, CAP-XX has developed a range of larger prismatic supercapacitors and multi-cell modules suitable for use in automotive Stop-Start, Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) and Micro-Hybrid vehicles. These modules are smaller and lighter than competitive systems based on cylindrical supercapacitors, and offer much improved battery performance and operational life at low cost."
Note smaller and lighter...
Then do a little research on the pikes peak id car...emphasis was on weight, 20% power from regen braking.....very secretive about their tech. Our auto products finished at the same time...
Every chance theres something behind these rumours...but then again, maybe not. we can only read and wait.
