The Aurtronic Transmission answers a very common problem by every car owner – high price of fuel. It is an upgrade from an automatic system, the ultimate power saver for most vehicles and is designed to do 3 things:
- Increases Fuel Economy
- Lower Harmful Emissions
- Improve Vehicle Drive Performance
The patented transmission is a redesign of the automatic and manual transmissions. It can be installed in sedans, SUVs, trucks mini and full size vans. No more expensive than a standard automatic transmission, the system was patented in 2013 and can be integrated as a retrofit. The goal, therefore, is to provide a revolutionary solution for the entire automotive industry. A better car with less fuel requirement is a dream for many car owners – and an upgrade to the Aurtronic Transmission aims to do that.
Although an existing technology that promises fuel efficiency such as hybrid vehicles already exists, these current hybrids are niche, too expensive and mostly too impractical for the mainstream user. The Aurtronic requires minimal changes in most vehicles. It is designed so that it can be retrofitted to most types of vehicles. The transmission can be installed during vehicle assembly line in the production phase easily because 60% of its components are already available in the market.
The Aurtronic was invented by Avotronics CEO Ugo Nwoke in 1993. Over 10,000 man hours and $1000s have gone into refining the design and developing a prototype of the Aurtronic Transmission. The crowdfunding campaign will provide the funding for the pre-production phase, in which the transmission will be tested on a dynamometer. It will then be developed for beta pre-launch and demonstrated in pilot client vehicles and pre-production full launch system reviews will be conducted. Commercialization and introduction to the automotive market will follow. Avotronics will look to raise investments funds of approximately $3MM - $5MM for that next phase.
