Capstone Integrates Microturbine Into Ford S-Max Plugin Hybrid (Whisper Eco-Logic)

Capstone stock is soaring nearly 50% this morning after the company announced that it has successfully integrated its C30 liquid fueled microturbine into a Ford S-Max plugin hybrid which was designed and modified by Langford Performance Engineering. The C30 kicks in after 40 miles, extending the electric range by working to charge to the lithium batteries. Langford reports that the car, named the “Whisper Eco-Logic” is getting up to 80 mpg in early testing.

“The Ford modified by Langford is an extremely practical solution and one that Langford has been working on for over two years,” said Jim Crouse, Capstone’s Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing. “The design characteristics of Capstone’s turbine permits ultra low emissions, high fuel economy, multi fuel capability, no coolants or lubricating oil, and little to no maintenance in an automotive application,” added Crouse.
