It's been a while since we've heard anything from AFS Trinity, the company that tried to make an impact a few years ago with a claim of "150 miles per gallon" equivalent plug-in hybrids (PHEV). After taking a bit of heat for that number, the company quieted down – disappearing from the LA ...

Instead of their false claims of 150 mile per gallon equivalent hybrids here at the show, we have, well, nothing. As I said, we're more than willing to accept their claims that ...

The lithium ion batteries being used for plug-in hybrids such as the Chevy Volt are easily the single most expensive part of the car and now, AFS Trinity is claiming that they will only last 25,000 miles before needing to be replaced. The company has its own plug-in hybrid technology and claims ...

Back at the Detroit Auto Show in January, the AFS Trinity hybrids - with an artfully calculated 150 mpge number - were buried in the basement. For the upcoming LA Auto Show, AFS Trinity has declared it will not accept a downstairs location again and will instead pull out of the ...

AFS Trinity, which is working on technology to make 250mpg cars available for people without $100,000 to drop on a Tesla Roadster, keeps filing patents for its Hybrid Extreme™ system. The latest was in mid-September, and AFS Trinity says that the company's goal is to develop a more plug-in ...
