In 2002, as the World started taking carbon emissions seriously, our founder embarked on a journey to develop energy recycling gasoline turbocompound powertrains for pickups and trucks which could cut on-road transportation carbon emissions in half, and eliminate diesel air pollution.  Over the next two decades he mixed Masters and PhD studies with bootstrapping, leading a small team of engineers in Ukraine, and earning multiple  grant awards to fund the research.

In 2013, John joined us to support business efforts including marketing and fundraising.

​

In 2018, David achieved a major breakthrough in his PhD research, solving centuries-old questions in engine thermodynamics on how to understand, maximize and define the efficiency limits of thermal energy conversion, energy recycling and heat recovery. 
 

During his PhD research he developed, simulated and analyzed a diesel micro turbocompound 2.0 litre engine design for range extended electric truck markets estimated to achieve over 60% fuel efficiency without turbocharging or heat recovery, significantly higher than any fuel cell, engine or hybrid powered vehicle, and much higher than the World's electric grids.

We are long-time residents of Ukraine, and have the World's most advanced propulsion technologies, so we turned our efforts to developing systems for UA and NATO aerial drones and missiles.  In 2026, we plan to test our MVP 20 kW system based on a 160 cc boxer 4 cylinder UAV engine.
