Ise Corporation

ISE Corp was a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of heavy duty hybrid-electric drive systems based on a core technology that focused on three critical subsystems: energy storage, controls software and power electronics. These core technologies and subsystems are critical for any hybrid or all-electric vehicle to achieve the most efficient management of energy. ISE specialized in complete hybrid-electric drive systems designed for use in heavy duty commercial vehicles, which included proprietary subsystems as well as other third party components. ISE's Hybrid Systems were based on a “series” configuration, where the engine is completely decoupled from the driveline and used only to generate electrical power, thereby providing the option of battery-dominant, plug-in compatible and all-electric heavy duty commercial vehicles. ISE's Hybrid Systems demonstrated reliability and performance in over 13 million miles of transit bus fleet operation. ISE also developed advanced Ultra-capacitor and lithium-ion based energy storage systems specifically designed for high duty cycle, heavy duty vehicle applications, incorporating proprietary electronics and battery management technology in a modular, scalable and ruggedized design (“ES Systems”). Over the course of its15 year history, ISE developed significant expertise designing robust, high power systems capable of operating in extreme environments that require unique design approaches and intellectual property.
