Engineering Awards presented to CAP-XX at 2016 SAE-A Mobility Engineering Excellence Awards

CAP-XX is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the Society of Automotive Engineers - Australasia's (SAE-A) 2016 Platinum Award for overall engineering excellence, for the Company's 'Advanced Supercapacitors Make High Performance Modules' project, having faced tough competition from Ford, GM, SC Innovation and others. CAP-XX's award winning project concerned the development of supercapacitors suitable for automotive applications, namely its powerModule and truckStart products. CAP-XX also won the SAE-A's 2016 Gold Award in the Manufacturing/non-OE (non-Original Equipment) category

The judges' comments in respect of CAP-XX's project were as follow:

"CAP-XX have developed super capacitors for applications in both hybrid vehicles and, in a different mode, Heavy Trucks. The Super Capacitors will enable a broader range of small hybrids to utilise stop/start technology, with a beneficial effect on emissions and fuel economy. The Super Capacitors provided extremely low series resistance over a wide temperature range making them superior to storage batteries for many high power vehicle functions - in particular for numerous Stop/Start situations and where it enables heavy trucks to readily restart in very cold conditions and where batteries suffer from degraded performance. These Capacitors have almost unlimited cycle life and do not have the variable dynamic charging issues typical of batteries. The CAP-XX design utilises thin prismatic elements, with very low Equivalent Series Resistance, providing high power capability in a smaller package size and thus higher power density."

The judging panel of eight cited CAP-XX's combination of innovation, economic and social benefits, and widespread and wide scale appeal.
