About ALTe
ALTe is an engineering and technology company led by a management team with a unique combination of Detroit and Silicon Valley automotive engineering experience dedicated to leading the transformation of the automobile industry from vehicles powered by gasoline to vehicles powered by electricity.
ALTe believes that range extended electric vehicle powertrains, where vehicles drive the first 40-50 miles on power stored in the batteries which are subsequently recharged by an on-board generator, represent the optimal "hybrid" technology to simultaneously maximize fuel economy, minimize emissions, make the purchase price of a "hybrid" as comparable as possible to the purchase price of a similar gasoline powered vehicle, minimize operating expenses, minimize changes in driver behavior, provide comparable vehicle performance and minimize additional infrastructure requirements.
Product & Design
ALTe uses advanced technology in the development of its range extended electric powertrains for a range of different vehicle applications based on the Company's rolling electric platform or "e-platform" product which includes the "Green Box," a controls system which communicates with the controls systems of various OEMs, battery chemistries, power electronic modules and engine controls and a lithium ion battery pack. Massive utilization of advanced "virtual" engineering techniques facilitates product development.
Engineering Services
ALTe provides consulting services to OEMs and suppliers.
ALTe has consulted on a variety of alternative energy and propulsion system designs ranging from leading edge battery packs to architecting a dual mode diesel hybrid system for major OEMs. The company has expertise with best in class product development tools and methods synthesizing structural strength, durability, safety, NVH, driveability, fluid flow, and heat transfer correlated with component and vehicle level testing.
