The name Innas is a compilation of Innovation Associates, well describing the nature of the activities of our company. However, Innas also happens to be the name of one of the first Slav Martyrs recorded in history. Innas, Nirras and Pinnas (February 2) lived to a great age in Scythia, being disciples of the holy Apostle Andrew. They suffered for the faith at the hands of their pagan neighbors on the other side of the Danube, near Varna. Bound and left on the ice, they froze to death.

Variable FC Pump up to 95% efficiency |
April 2010. Efficiency tests of the new Innas variable
floating cup pump have just been completed. Experts at Eindhoven Technical
University tested the new variable pump at different operating points.
The variable pump proved to have
excellent part load efficiency. The total efficiency of the 28 [cm3]
type variable pump in case of full displacement shows high values in
a wide band of the operating points, up to 95%. |
| Two new papers presented at 7th IFK, Aachen, March 2010 |
April 2010. The papers "A robust hydrostatic
thrust bearing for hydrostatic machines" and "IHT controlled
serial hydraulic hybrid passenger cars", presented during the International
Fluid Power Conference in Aachen (22-24 March 2010) can now be ordered

| SAE Off Highway Engineering: Hydrid among top products of the year 2009 |
December 2009. The Innas Hydraulic Hybrid (HyDrid) has been chosen to be one of the top products of the year in SAE's Off Highway Engineering (SOHE) magazine. In the November/December 2009 issue of SOHE editors highlight some of 2009's top offerings from the industry's component and system suppliers that were most popular among online readers of SOHE (www.offhighway-online.org). The Hydrid drivetrain technology is among the 20 best. |
| Battery and accumulators: side by side in electric-hydrid vehicle |
October, 2009. On the new webpage Electric hydrid the answer can be found to a question frequently asked: Is the HyDrid concept competing with the electric vehicle technology? In our view, the HyDrid transmission does not exclude the electric battery. On the contrary, it facilitates the introduction of a base load electric system which can now be much smaller than of current hybrid electric vehicles. The combination of a hydraulic transmission and a 'leaner' electromotor and smaller batteries offers the best of both worlds. |
| Innas - IFAS article in ATZ, May 2009 |
May, 2009. ATZ (Automobiltechnische Zeitschrift) of May 2009 presents the article 'Low-emission Hydraulic Hybrid for Passenger Cars'. Innas has written this article in cooperation with IFAS, the Institute for Fluid Power Drives and Controls at RWTH Aachen technical University. The mechanical drive of a passenger car has been substituted by a series hydraulic transmission. This new Hydrid power train reduces the fuel consumption of a medium-sized cars by 50%. The CO2 emissions are reduced to 82 g/km, a level far below the EU-limit for the year 2012 (120 g/km). A pdf of this technical paper in the German or English language can be ordered from Innas. Please select literature for a free of charge copy. |
| Study Innas - IFAS: 50 % Energy reduction for Hybrid Hydraulic Forklifts |
March, 2009. An energy reduction of 50% and more is possible with the application of a Hydrid drive in forklift trucks. This is one of the results that Martin Inderelst and Prof. Hubertus Murrenhoff of IFAS, RWTH Aachen (Germany) and Peter Achten and Georges Vael of Innas presented in their paper 'HyDrid Antriebe für Gabelstapler' (HyDrid Drives for Forklift trucks) for the 2. Fachtagung of VDMA and Karlsruhe University, on February 18th. Vael presented the results of a study that Innas performed in co-operation with the IFAS of Aachen Technical University. A pdf of this technical paper in the German language can be ordered from Innas. Please select literature for a free of charge copy. |
