Tula’s core philosophy is built on the idea that every engine or motor – whether gas, diesel or electric – has a so-called “sweet spot” of efficient operation.

Under normal driving conditions only a small percentage of vehicle operation occurs at optimal efficiency.

Vehicle engines and motors are designed to provide high torque levels with efficiency to drivers, but they can become inefficient when operated at lower speeds and torque output levels.

How Tula technology creates smarter engines and motors

Before Tula, if your traditionally designed engine had 4 cylinders, then you’d be firing all 4, all the time, whether you needed them or not. Even when less torque was needed, engines would still continue to fire 100%, thereby unnecessarily reducing efficiency, wasting fuel, and increasing CO₂ emissions. Until now, drivers accepted these inefficiencies in exchange for maximum available power when needed.

With Tula, drivers no longer need to accept traditional inefficiencies

Now, by variably firing the right percentage of cylinder events or, with electric motors, using a pulse density strategy to operate the motor the right percentage of time, Tula ensures that gas, diesel and electric motors operate at optimal efficiency across the spectrum of requested torque.

Our patented technologies operate engines and motors on a variable basis, scaling up and back again as needed to supply the requested torque, without accepting operating inefficiencies.
