![]() The present problem. Rising oil consumption creates profound geo-political, environmental and economic impacts. Today, automobiles and trucks consume a large percentage of global oil production, and explosive transportation growth in developing nations is greatly exacerbating the situation. Industry, government and academia are aggressively examining a wide range of technologies to make transportation more efficient and personal mobility more sustainable for the future. All reasonable means to address the issue are being examined.
Unfortunately, many approaches to solving the present problem create significant new challenges. For example, to enable electric vehicles to reach their full potential, improved battery chemistries with higher energy density, lower cost and much longer cycle life need to be developed. For alternative fuels, such as natural gas or hydrogen, new fuel delivery infrastructures are needed. To recharge a growing population of electric vehicles, or to produce hydrogen in large quantities for transportation use, new electrical generation capacity must be brought on line. With sufficient commitment of financial and technical resources, all of these challenges can be met in time. But what is needed is a better solution for today.
The optimum solution. Tula’s innovation is based upon a revolutionary approach to engine management. It is a solution so elegant that it can be easily applied to current vehicle infrastructures. No changes to fuels need be made. No upgrades of home wiring systems are necessary. No long term expensive battery servicing is required. No modifications to service stations or fuel delivery infrastructures are needed. Tula takes the best of internal combustion engines – their low cost and the ubiquity of service stations, and solves the biggest issue – fuel efficiency. In addressing one of the globe’s most pressing challenges, Tula provides impressive gains in fuel efficiency at a cost much lower than competing technologies, truly giving vehicle manufacturers and their consumers a high value, optimal solution.
