The Scuderi Air-Hybrid System

Unlike electric hybrids that use recovered kinetic energy to charge high-voltage batteries, our Air-Hybrid system uses kinetic energy to charge an air storage tank.

Scuderi & Miller - A Perfect Match

The Scuderi Engine gains a massive advantage from turbocharging, Miller-like valve control strategies and extended expansion that is simply not possible with conventional engine designs.

The Scuderi Engine

Consistent with conventional four-stroke engine designs, the combustion cycle of the Scuderi Engine has two high-pressure strokescompression and power. The power stroke is positive work, or energy that is produced by the expanding gases to create mechanical work. The compression stroke is negative work, or energy that the engine consumes to create mechanical work.
