The concept ensures long term energy storage for delivering short bursts of power to the VTES supercharger during vehicle accelerations and to the SpeedStart stop-start device during engine re-starts. Conversely, short bursts of power can also be absorbed by the SpeedStart generator to recharge the battery during vehicle decelerations.

V-Charge integrates a supercharger with a mechanical variable speed drive to address a key barrier to engine downsizing by providing near instant response at any engine speed. This allows us to evolve a purpose-made unit that brings the technology much closer to market than previous proof-of-concept hardware.
