The Push Hogg Concept
The Push Hogg is an aftermarket PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) attachment which will quickly and easily turn your current vehicle into a PHEV.
Goal:
To provide consumers with an economical solution to the increasing petroleum prices while promoting environmental responsibility.
Advantages:
-
Increase your vehicle’s MPG
Preliminary testing has shown that the Push Hogg can nearly double your current gas mileage. The initial Push Hogg prototype has approximately a 35mile battery range at speeds up to 45mph. Studies by the Bureau of Transportation and Statistics show that most consumers have a total trip distance of less than 30 miles per day. Imagine being able to make fewer gas stops while running errands. -
Save Money at the Pump
By making fewer gasoline stops and increasing your MPG, you will be saving money at the gasoline pumps. No more budgeting for gasoline in your monthly bills, now when gasoline prices increase, you actually are saving more money! -
Decrease your carbon footprint
Using less gasoline means decreasing your CO2 emissions. The Push Hogg is a Green solution that is helping to keep our planet clean. -
Increase National Security by Decreasing your dependence on Imported oil
The National Resource Defense Council (NRDC) states that “American’s spend more than $200,000 per minute on imported petroleum based products”. Decreasing our oil imports means sending fewer American dollars overseas to hostile terrorist countries. The Push Hogg is being manufactured domestically, meaning dollars spent in the purchase of a Push Hogg will stay right here on American soil to help support our domestic growth and economy. -
THOUSANDS less than a new hybrid vehicle
Millions of families, who would most benefit from the gasoline savings that a new hybrid vehicle would offer, are unable to afford the purchase of a new car. The Push Hogg is projected to cost less than the cost of a quality used car. With used cars out pacing the sell of new cars by nearly 3 to 1, it is easy to see where many consumers could benefit from the use of a Push Hogg. -
No permanent modifications to your vehicle
The Push Hogg requires no permanent modifications to your existing vehicle. It is an adapter which attaches to the rear hitch receiver and runs in parallel to your vehicle’s drive train. By having no permanent modifications this allows you to retain your vehicles towing capacity, when removed, as well as restore your car to its original state. Perfect for car shows or should you decide to sell your vehicle in the future. -
Can be used on any vehicle in your fleet
With no permanent modifications, you are able to attach the Push Hogg among any vehicle in your fleet quickly and easily. One Push Hogg can be interchanged among an entire family’s vehicles. Switch the Push Hogg from car to car to best fit your families driving needs.
