Reduce fuel consumption efficiently.
How smart is that? Driventic offers a groundbreaking, emission-lowering transmission solution with energy-saving fluid coupling, specially developed for highly efficient TurboCompound systems with low-loss torque transmission. Because while your commercial vehicles need to meet increasingly more stringent emission regulations like the current EURO VI standard, as a customer you require ever more efficient engines with the lowest fuel consumption possible.
Your benefits at a glance
It’s a fact that in most trucks, maximum 44% of the fuel’s energy reaches the drivetrain. The rest dissipates as thermal, friction and exhaust gas energy. Modern TurboCompound engines therefore convert the thermal energy from exhaust gases into mechanical energy.
Our innovative transmission solution with its hydrodynamic coupling transfers this energy effectively to the engine’s crankshaft. The result is an up to 6% decrease in fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. This simple yet energy-efficient solution from Driventic pays off for you across the board in several ways, as your commercial vehicles are much more cost efficient and environmentally friendly.

How It Works and Design
Intelligent Exhaust Heat Recovery
TurboCompound saves energy according to a simple yet effective principle:
Besides the turbocharger, the exhaust system is fitted with a second turbine
Residual exhaust heat drives the turbine, creating mechanical energy
A Driventic transmission with a hydrodynamic coupling efficiently feeds the mechanical energy back to the crankshaft
The result: lower fuel consumption as the recovered energy is used to drive the diesel engine more efficiently
