Motoized Wheels On Buses

The automotive pioneer Ferdinand Porsche first advanced the idea of a wheel-motor more than a century ago. Although indigenous skills and achievements are an indispensable part of technological advance, no technologically dynamic nation has ever been isolated from the influences of other lands. Continued technological advance requires an infusion of ideas, tools, and materials from other places, coupled with an ability to make good use of them. Many companies have tried to popularize a wheel-motor, and a few are currently producing them but none are in production to the extent of e-traction.

Since it takes so much capital, land and labor e-Traction is the culmination of a number of separate and specialized ventures, such as Special Products for Industry, B.V. (SPI) and A&J Partners, B.V. (A&J). All incidentally are headed by the same management, that in years past have successfully serviced a wide range of clients in their electric traction needs. The far reaching consequences of the invention of the internationally patented TheWheel™ made it more practical to join all these efforts under one common corporate banner.

Here is “The Whisper”, notice the back wheels hold the motor.

Technological and economic hurdles must be overcome before these motors gain widespread use in transportation. For example, due to the drastically different circumstances of today’s underdeveloped countries, technologies that have worked well in the rich nations where they originated may fail when they are taken to a different setting. Even worse, they may seriously distort the course of a
