New Energy Technologies Inc. is a developer of next generation alternative and renewable energy technologies. One of the technologies that the company is developing is called MotionPower, a roadway system for generating electricity by capturing the kinetic energy produced by moving vehicles.

New Energy Technologies announced today successful completion of its first-ever MotionPower prototype energy harvester for heavy trucks and vehicles to be installed at such locations as truck stops, weigh scales, commercial ports of entry, and shipping sites. This newly developed technology complements the company’s previously prototyped MotionPower system for cars and light trucks.

MotionPower technology is a roadway-based system that is designed to be installed in locations where vehicles decelerate or stop, thus ensuring that vehicles are not ‘robbed’ of energy they would otherwise use to accelerate. Instead, MotionPower devices assist vehicles in slowing down, and in the process of doing so, capture the vehicles’ motion before it is lost
