heat2power is proud to annouce that it has won the prestigious Powertrain Innovation of the Year Award at the Professional Motorsport World Expo in Cologne with its Thermal Energy Recovery System (TERS). This recognition by journalists and leading race engineers confirms that heat2power's innovative development is on the right track to becoming a part of race and road cars of the future. The jury particularly appreciated how the technology can save fuel, add extra power and how it can be transposed from race to road cars.
In front of an audience of over 1000 motorsport professionals from all over the world heat2power got the attention for its TERS from top level engineers and team leaders in Formula 1, Le Mans series, WRC and various other series. heat2power expects that this will boost the presence of heat2power in racing.

heat2power is developing technology to regenerate waste heat from internal combustion engines that is normally lost through the exhaust. heat2power has identified the exploitation of the power flow in the exhaust as one of the most promising ways to improve engine efficiency, whether they run on gasoline, diesel, biofuels, hydrogen or other types of fuel. With the reduction of CO2-emissions, increasing fuel prices and fuel economy in mind our team has concentrated on using this powerflow to improve the efficiency of internal combustion engines on cars, trucks, boats and power generators>
The goal of heat2power is to introduce this technology to all companies engaged in engine development that intend to get the best performance from their engines while retaining cost effectiveness, ease of operation, high efficiency and high specific power factors, so important for efficient mobile applications.
heat2power has in fact investigated many existing technologies that regenerate heat - Stirling, Rankine cycles for example but also many others - on the feasibility of integration in a vehicle. heat2power has found however that none of them was suitable for vehicle applications. Therefore heat2power has developed new variant that uses the waste heat in a highly efficient manner and that combines all the other characteristics that are desired in the industrially manufactured automobile.
This website will introduce you to waste heat regeneration in general, and the heat2power technology in particular. Furthermore we want to share with you our view on its importance for cars , trucks, boats, trains and power generation. And finally we invite you to evaluate its potential on your products.
Please enjoy the information that we made available to you. I am in any case looking forward to your feedback.
Yours sincerely
