Hybrid Electric Vehicle Technologies, Inc.
Saving the planet, one plug-in hybrid vehicle at a time™
Hybrid Electric Vehicle Technologies, Inc. (HEVT) is an early-stage technology company specializing in the design and development of hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle systems, components, and conversions. HEVT was founded in 2005 by Dr. Ali Emadi, a leading expert in hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle technologies, as a university spin-off company of Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). Dr. Emadi is the Harris Perlstein Professor of Electrical Engineering and Director of the Electric Power and Power Electronics Center and Grainger Laboratories at IIT.
HEVT is currently focused on designing and developing drive train components as well as conversion kits to convert internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to plug-in hybrids. HEVT's conversion kits incorporate HEVT's core technologies, which include a unique adaptive control unit and a series-parallel hybrid electric drive train. HEVT's mission is to lead the way toward sustainable transportation by providing innovative drive train components and adaptive controllers for electric, hybrid electric, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. HEVT's solutions address rising fuel costs, global warming, harmful emissions, and sound pollution.
Located at the University Tech Park on Illinois Institute of Technology's campus in Chicago, HEVT has exclusive rights to the intellectual property, patents, and patents-pending covering this revolutionary technology developed by Professor Ali Emadi and his research laboratory at IIT, one of the world's leading teams specializing in power electronics and motor drives for automotive systems.
