Changing the Transportation Paradigm
ZED Power Corporation is a privately owned American company which
owns the ZED engine Intellectual Property. It is headquartered
in Foster City, located in the San Francisco Bay Silicon Valley
region of California. Scientific research and development is conducted
with government support by ZED – Zero Emissions Design, Inc.
in Vancouver, Canada. Vehicle engineering is conducted in Livonia,
Michigan.
Global trade and commerce have been fueled by the supply of cheap
petroleum fuel, powering inefficient internal combustion engines
for the last century. Globally, of the $2 Trillion of petroleum
burned annually, transportation consumes 60% of it. 25% of all
petroleum ever found has been consumed in the last 10 years, with
95% of it consumed by internal combustion engines which are less
than 20% efficient. A permanent global depletion of cheap petroleum
is expected to start by 2015, causing a sharp rise in the price
of petroleum fuel. Global warming and carbon based pollution concerns
are also bringing the current transportation paradigm era to an
end.
The new transportation paradigm requires an engine replacement
with the same power, which can run on any available fuel, with
fewer emissions.
Designed AFC (All Fuel Capable), ZED engines produce the same
power as conventional engines with fewer emissions because an optimal
stoichiometric
ratio is maintained at all engine speeds and loads.
Additional power is attained by bottom-cycle combustion heat scavenging
using the patent protected Berk-Cycle design. ZED engines are designed
for installation in current production vehicles without body or
chassis modification.
Corporate affairs are represented by the Venture Capital law firm
of Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich and Rosati in Menlo Park, California.
Intellectual Property representation is by the law firm of Greenberg
Traurig in Washington, D.C.
ZED is represented in the United States, Canada, Australia and
England. The company is anticipating the production of ZED powered
vehicles in the near future.
