Plug In Hybrid Retrofit Kit designed for mileage savings

Powered by at least nine MTSU students work since 2008, Dr. Charles Perry continues driving toward success in the development of the plugin hybrid retrofit kit for any car. Perry, who holds the Russell Chair of Manufacturing Excellence, and a fivemember team saw gas mileage increase anywhere from 50 to 100 percent on a 1994 Honda station wagon retrofitted with laboratory prototype plugin hybrid capability.
