HARNESS EXISTING POTENTIAL
Capture Kinetic Energy with the PGS-1
A spring-loaded shaft underneath the trailer or container amplifies the mechanical motion of the vehicle.
The kinetic energy of this mechanical motion is converted to electrical energy through a hydraulic system and an EM Generator.
The harvested electrical energy can power auxiliary systems, like a reefer trailer, as well as reduce load on the engine and extend range.

ABOUT
How We Started
Jon Hurry, one of our founders, was first captivated by the potential of harnessing naturally occurring energy from vehicles traveling over road displacements during his participation in his university's solar electric race competition in the early 90s. Unlike typical shocks that dissipate energy, there was a tremendous opportunity to capture usable energy by leveraging a power-generating suspension system. However, at the time, the technology was too expensive and inefficient to be commercially viable.
Since then, the market has evolved, with an increasing demand for electric vehicle range and emissions reduction. Furthermore, Jon discovered new advances in linear generator technology that made the idea more appealing and feasible.
Propitious Technologies was established in 2019 by Jon and Elsbeth Hurry, who shared a passion for developing green technology solutions to meet the world's energy needs. The company assembled a world-class team that worked in collaboration with Tufts University, Dr. John Miller, Dr. James Kirtley, Abtery AB, and others. The team experimented with different designs and materials to refine their technology, ultimately leading to a differentiated (patents pending) value proposition for refrigerated trailers, electric semis, and containers.
Our testing of prototype designs has yielded remarkable results. Propitious’ advancements have resulted in a breakthrough in linear generator technology – a highly efficient suspension capable of capturing significant kinetic energy when driving on rough roads.
In early 2023, Johan de Nysschen, a world-class CEO with extensive experience and leadership in the automotive segment, was added to the team to lead commercialization efforts. With enormous potential, the company is finalizing the funding needed to prove the technology in the real world.
Propitious Technologies is emerging as a leading player in the clean-tech industry, recognized for its innovative solutions that address the world's energy needs. The company's commitment to sustainability and passion for innovation make it a driving force in the transition to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
