Blackburn Energy (Accelerator)

Company Description: Electrifying trucks - eliminating engine idling and the parasitic fuel loss of mechanical systems that drain engine power. Blackburn is leading the electrification of trucks by turning them into platforms that create, store, and can deliver clean electricity. Blackburn invented a new kind of kinetic energy recovery system that, like a hybrid, uses otherwise wasted mechanical energy to run a generator creating clean electricity. RelGen makes power from the rotation of the drive shaft behind the transmission. At low speeds, “the transmission effect” allows RelGen to make power with lower percentage of the engine’s available torque. At higher vehicle speeds the driveshaft spins faster than the engine crank shaft giving RelGen up to a 30% higher RPM which creates more power in less time. This allows RelGen to generate power at a faster rate while the truck is in motion. RelGen also uses a high efficiency 200 amp 12 volt alternator that is 15% more efficient than factory alternators helping to reduce your fuel consumption while keeping your equipment on the road. Fleet owners can save as much as $3000/truck per year in fuel alone.
