Further, I found the management team and board are excellent, the business model is scalable globally, and somebody had to break the chicken or the egg syndrome plaguing the industry." ALTe is the developer of a range extended electric powertrain used to repower light commercial vehicles. The system is retrofitted into existing fleet vehicles and used in "glider" applications to dramatically increase their fuel economy and lower emissions. Designed to replace a base V-8 internal combustion engine powertrain, the system's patented technology improves fuel economy from 80 to 200 percent. ALTe is currently in development testing of its systems and is taking advanced orders for vehicle shipments. More at www.altellc.com.
