Avotronics Powertrain Employs Crowdfunding to Launch Aurtronic - A
Fuel Efficient Hybrid Transmission Technology for Most Vehicles
COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Avotronics Powertrain
recently introduced their Patented Hybrid Transmission - called the
Aurtronic, by launching a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo to
support the continuing production testing requirements of the
Aurtronic.

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.
