Scuderi Debuts in France
The first appearance of the Scuderi Group in the French market was an unqualified success. Scuderi presented its breakthrough technology to major OEMs including Renault, Peugeot, Citroen and BMW France at the Normandy Motor Meetings in Rouen, France on Oct. 4 & 5. Scuderi also had the opportunity to talk to OEMs in the aerospace industry, including SNECMA, and major Tier 1 suppliers to the automotive industry that focus on engines and powertrains, including Magneti Marelli (a subsidiary of FIAT Italy). Besides pre-scheduled meetings, there were several workshops focused on new technologies. According to Scuderi executives, the reaction of all company representatives to Scuderi technology was uniformly positive, and follow-up meetings are planned.Scuderi Engine Makes Stops in Germany and Michigan
September was a busy month for the Scuderi road crew, making exhibition and speaking engagement appearances in the U.S. and Germany. During the weeks of Sept. 18 and Sept. 25, Scuderi was a featured exhibitor at the International Automobile Association’s Commercial Vehicle Show where the group debuted the diesel designs. A massive two-week long event attended by automobile OEMs, engine enthusiasts, engineers, and the general public, the IAA allowed the Scuderi team to meet new people in the European auto industry and gain even more visibility to the diesel and commercial vehicle markets overseas. "It was another successful show for us and enabled us to meet so many potential partners in the commercial vehicle industry in Europe,” said Nick Scuderi, vice president of global sales and marketing. “As with the other trade shows we have chose to exhibit at this year, we experienced a steady stream of interest every day of the event that helped us begin – as well as continue – some very key relationships we are building in that region." Meanwhile, back in the U.S., Scuderi President Sal Scuderi gave a presentation to attendees of the Global Powertrain Conference held Sept. 20 at the expo center in the Detroit suburb of Novi, MI. Sal spoke to various auto engineers about the benefits of the air-hybrid engine in his presentation “Hybrid Efficiency with Super-Charged Power in a Low Cost Package” as part of the Advanced Propulsion Systems track. Sal was originally invited to speak at the conference by JD Power, one of the conference organizers. Stay tuned for a video podcast of Sal’s presentation.

Gas mileage impact calculator
Here's a calculator on hybridcars.com that allows you to compare the gas mileage and emissions levels of non-hybrid vehicles with those of today's electric hybrid models. Open up the calculator in a new window by clicking here. Keep in mind that the Scuderi Air-Hybrid Engine is estimated by third party independent research to double fuel efficiency and reduce emissions levels by 80 percent. (No batteries, either: See below).Report: Batteries slowing the supply chain
Batteries, Parts Delay Hybrid Car Production From abcnews.go.com: "The good news: The rising price of gasoline in the United States has made American car shoppers sit up and take notice of fuel-efficient hybrid gas-electric autos. The bad news: Carmakers still can't keep up with the demand... One of the chief reasons is a limited supply of hybrid parts such as the rechargeable batteries and the computers that control the cars' dual electric and gas-powered motors. Just a certain few companies have that capability to produce hybrid car technology," says Charlie Vogelheim, executive editor of the Kelley Blue Book auto price directory. "It all depends on those components and the lead time suppliers have to produce them..." Read the full story here.Ask the White House discusses Renewable Energy
