Is your engineering team overloaded? Do you have a product concept that you need developed? At Czero we work with your team to rapidly turn concepts into production ready products. We do this by quickly assembling multidisciplinary teams of experts that combine creativity with a wide variety of virtual prototyping software to rapidly analyze, model and simulate multiple designs. This allows us to iterate through numerous configurations and evaluate the system performance before any hardware is ever built. This dramatically reduces cost and delays associated with additional hardware iterations. We build, assemble and test the hardware and controls and deliver a working prototype ready to go.

Czero has a strong reputation for rapidly developing high quality systems that work correctly the first time. We work in a wide variety of disciplines but have particular experience in automotive and heavy truck powertrain design and controls, high speed hydraulics and renewable fuels. The engineers of Czero are the inventors on numerous patents assigned to our customers and we have won multiple awards for our engineering. Find out more about Czero Consulting.

Czero is developing a hydraulic hybrid retrofit kit for heavy duty trucks. The system is specifically designed for retrofitting class 7 and 8 refuse and yard hostler trucks. Czero is working in conjunction with Colorado State University Engines and Energy Conversion Laboratory and local and national businesses on the project. One prototype system is operational and the next generation system is expected to be operational the first quarter of 2010. A demonstration project is scheduled for the fall of 2010.
