THE COMPANY

INNOVATIVE THINKERS

Established in March 2004, the Group Holding Company – Ducere Holdings (Pty)Ltd.- based in Johannesburg, South Africa, delivers products to the local market through its wholly-owned subsidiary MISER Hybrid Technologies

Our patented MISER® Technologies presents a revolutionary new approach to kinetic energy recovery, engine optimisation, energy storage and re-application for any vehicle. Our Cutting-edge technology, aimed at dramatically improving fuel consumption, vehicle performance and total cost of ownership whilst simultaneously reducing carbon emissions, is a key purpose of the business.

Our main aim is to remain involved at the forefront of today’s automotive hybrid technology and enable us to offer the most efficient energy recovery, energy storage and engine optimisation than any competing technology, having a real-time impact on the environment.

This is achieved through a patented solution and proprietary transmission, using a combination of braking-energy recovery, engine optimisation and various modes – such as torque summing, regenerative braking and launch assist – which provides an efficient mechanism for the fast and release of energy, whilst optimising engine performance by keeping the engine operating on the ideal Brake Specific Fuel Consumption line.

Our MD, André Reyneke, likes to take a line from one of our children’s favourites, Mr Walt Disney:

“All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them”.

It relates to our company, encompassing everything we believe in, driving our team’s attitude towards product development and future technological challenges.

Icon Key Milestones for Miser Technologies

OUR KEY MILESTONES

  • All modes for HKS were successfully proven several years ago during our proof-of-technology phase.
  • We have shown excellent results with MISER-HKS, achieving fuel savings in excess of 25% in specific drive cycles and significant emission reduction.

  • Further developments for both hydraulic and electrical solutions are currently underway. and we aim to demonstrate that this will significantly improve operations and efficiency for electric vehicles.

  • Our new project – TRI-MISER – aimed specifically at smaller passenger vehicles, combines our hydraulic version called explicitly aimed at smaller passenger vehicles, is a combination of our hydraulic version together with other power sources.

  • The development of MISER-HTS is ongoing and is expected to be completed by 3Q2023 Expectations are as high as fuel savings of up to 70% in certain drive cycles.
