| Blackburn Energy | Blackburn Energy developed simple technology to turn heavy trucks into mobile renewable energy platforms. RelGen captures the spinning force of the vehicle’s drive shaft through a custom center bearing. A belt transmits this kinetic energy to an alternator where it is converted into electricity. It is stored for later use to power almost anyaccessory – like electric APU’s, liftgates, autonomous truck sensors, cameras. The technology benefits heavy commercial truck fleets that utilize battery power for accessories. Long-haul drivers need cab climate systems to live and work comfortably. Fleets whose drivers use liftgates to deliver products and services need battery power too. RelGen is the fastest charging system on the market and allows users to reduce fuel and maintenance costs related to engine idling and helps fleets increase uptime and profits while eliminating tonnes of CO2 per truck per year. The Energy and Combustion Research Laboratory at the University of Massachusetts Lowell analyzed our data from customer trucks to assess fuel savings and emissions reductions. Their results confirm our industry value: One Year ROI, eliminates engine idle on trucks with liftgates saves 3-5 gallons of diesel per day resulting in $3,000 saved per truck per year. Eliminates 10.3860 metric tonnes of CO2 per truck per year. | $2.1M | Seed | Mar 23, 2020 |  |
