Hybrid SUV Gets 150 Miles per Gallon

Alex Constantine - April 10, 2008

AFS Trinity XH™ Plug-in Hybrid Program
Spring 2008

AFS Trinity Power has developed patent-pending technology that makes it possible for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles to achieve 150 MPG, go 40 miles in all-electric mode, and use gasoline for additional unlimited miles in hybrid mode.

In July 2007, in order to very quickly demonstrate all of the key attributes of this technology, the company mounted an effort to build two fully operational XH-150 SUV prototypes using off-the-shelf components. The two vehicles—modified Saturn Vue SUVs—were built in less than six months. They were unveiled on January 13, 2008 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit (click here for Press Release).

On April 8, 2008, AFS Trinity started a cross country tour to give Americans their first onroad look at what CNN and others suggested may be “the car of the future.” The XH-150 will arrive at the Capitol Mall in Washington, D.C. for Earth Day on Sunday, April 20, 2008 (click here for Press Release).
