We Make the Car of Tomorrow Possible

Electric cars and trucks are an important step forward, but not the final destination. EVs face the challenges of limited range and lack of charging infrastructure. The electricity used to power these vehicles is often generated from the same fuels they seek to replace. Our engine helps address these challenges while enabling vehicle electrification.

Hybrid-Electric PROPULSION SolveS KEY Problems

Electric vehicles use big, expensive batteries. By integrating LiquidPiston’s X Engine, they can reduce the amount of battery needed, decreasing the production cost and weight of the vehicle.

Battery-powered electric vehicles have challenges on the path to a renewable future. A typical electric battery weighs over 1,000 pounds and the amount of lithium, cobalt, and nickel currently needed to make them is unsustainable. Our small, efficient engines in a hybrid-electric car can make it possible for the battery to be up to 10X smaller.

36lbs of fuel can displace 1,000 pounds of battery

LPI Hybrid Power System eliminates up to 80% of the battery pack

LPI engines allow more range for an electric vehicle by combining a smaller, lighter, more cost effective battery, with the ease of rapid refueling for longer journeys when required

LPI's technology could be critical in addressing a possible lithium shortage

Imagine a Carbon Free Future

That’s the promise of hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen is a 100% carbon-free fuel source. The emission from hydrogen-powered engines is simple water. And hydrogen can be created using solar energy, opening up the possibility of a completely renewable, green energy source.

Hydrogen Power Is Projected to Be a $1T Market

Companies like Toyota and GE are quickly developing hydrogen power tech. That's good news for us – our engine already runs on hydrogen.

The primary emission of an engine running on hydrogen fuel is water, making it a potentially zero carbon-emission, green engine.

Hydrogen may be generated by renewable sources such as solar energy, making it overall a cleaner alternative than batteries on a well to wheel basis.

Lightweight & Compact

Up to 80% smaller and lighter than the traditional piston Diesel engines.

Simplicity

Only two primary moving parts, optimally balanced.

High-Efficiency and Lower Fuel Consumption

The optimized thermodynamic cycle has the potential to decrease fuel consumption by 30%, thereby lowering CO2 emissions and the cost of running an engine

Quiet and Near-Zero Vibration

With lower pressure exhaust and just two moving components that are optimally balanced, the engine is inherently quiet, and offers exceptionally low vibration.
