Investments made by the fund on 30/6/2011 and 16/4/2012. Controlled Power Technologies specialises in products that help car makers meet tightening legislation on CO2 emission and consumer demands for fuel economy by making the car more energy efficient (through the use of auxiliary electric motors and generators) without the need to fundamentally redesign either the car or the engine. CPT's products thereby provide an immediate improvement in automotive carbon emissions, for significantly less cost per gram of reduced CO2 than an equivalent hybrid, electric or fuel cell car can achieve. CPT’s products are all based around a special type of motor/generator technology, include: - VTES: an electric motor for improving efficiency of passenger-car engines through improved air-delivery. This product has now been sold to a major manufacturer which is continuing the business from its current location. - SpeedStart®: an electric motor/generator optimising engine performance when a vehicle is stationary, cruising or braking. - TIGERS®: an electric generator for capturing waste energy from the exhaust - COBRA: an electric motor for improving efficiency of non-passenger-car engines.
