(April 17, 2016) Techrules is a new Beijing-based automotive research and development company that claims it is looking into potential locations to establish a European base capable of taking its TREV (Turbine-Recharging Electric Vehicle) technology to production. To pique interest, the hybrid system was wrapped in supercar packaging, and tidbits like a peak operating power of 1,030 horsepower, 0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds, a restricted top speed of 217.5 mph, a range of more than 1,242 miles, and a plug-in fuel economy of up to 1,569 mpg were bandied about.
