sincroll® GEARS ADVANCE ELECTRIC VEHICLES
OUR NEW ROLLING BALL GEAR TECHNOLOGY
Extends EVs’ range by 40 km per charge, 1400 km per year
Saves € 100 in EVs’ charging cost per year
Saves 100 kg in EVs’ CO2 emission per year
Saves € 100 billion in costs & 100 million tons in CO2, globally
FRICTION CAUSES PROBLEMS IN EV GEARS
GEARS ARE KEY COMPONENTS TO EV’S
Couple the motor and the wheels
Gear down rpm & gear up torque of motor to match those of the wheels
FRICTION IN GEARS CAUSES ENERGY LOSS
Wastes money & CO2
Generates heat, noise, wear & abrasion, reduces gear lifetime
EV’S ARE CRUCIAL FOR OUR CLIMATE EFFORT
Must spread wide & fast
Their technology must advance further & faster
Problem: friction in the gears wastes EV range & battery life
EV range & battery life are short :: since onboard stored energy is small :: since battery energy density is low
Better not waste it on friction
FRICTION IS THE ENEMY:
OUR GOAL IS TO
ELIMINATE IT
sincroll® ‘FRICTION-FREE’ GEARS OFFER SOLUTION
IN OUR NEW GEAR TECHNOLOGY WE FULLY ELIMINATED FRICTION
Assuming as usual perfect rigidity & accuracy
IN THIS MODEL
Energy loss is zero
Efficiency is 100%
We use balls rolling along grooves on both wheels to couple the two wheels together in a gearing action
The balls do pure rolling without sliding & friction
IN PRACTICE
Such assumptions do not fully hold, second order effects & minor losses may arise
We expect in practice, still:
Energy efficiency to be well above 99%
We can generate solutions for any gear specifications, shaft angles & offsets, any gearing ratios, size & speed, for any gear applications, in any machines that move
This mechanism differs fundamentally from the current state of the art
Our new technology represents one of the greatest paradigm shifts in the ‘1000’ years old gear industry
We focus on EVs now to advance their technology with the benefits we provide
UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY PROPOSES UNIQUE VALUE
WE CAN RAISE EV’S EFFICIENCY BY 5-10%
Motto from a major car OEM:
‘We could kill for HALF PERCENT efficiency gain…’
For an EV, we can save per year
€ 100 in charging cost and
100 kg in CO2 emission
extend range by
40 km per single charge
1400 km per year
Such savings add up per year to
€ 100 billion in charging cost and
100 million tons in CO2 emission
as EVs take over the entire market
sincroll® gears’ further advantages
Small size, simple design
Low maintenance, high reliability
High rpm motor: small, cheap, quiet, efficient
Low noise, long life
High precision movement
Haptic & backdrivable capabilities, force feedback
Large variety of solutions, constructional flexibility
and more…
Extra range 40 km is of critical value
Since charging lasts long hours, destination must be reached within a single battery charge (or a minimum number of recharging stops – same thing).
Longer range is therefore critical to be able to reach further destinations i.e. for heavier utilization – it is of very high utilization value.
Heavy utilization is the future since current utilization of 5% is just too low and also this is what autonomous vehicles will bring to us.

EV ANNUAL SALES (MILLION UNITS)
Under NZE, by 2030, EV sales must reach 67 million (60% share) and EV stocks must reach 350 million (20% share)
In the EU, by 2035, sales of new FFE vehicles must stop
Fact, 2021 sales doubled to 6.9 million – a pivotal point?
BUSINESS MODEL & MARKETING STRATEGY
TECHNOLOGY BUSINESS MODEL
We sell various instances of our technology via IP licences, know-how, engineering services, prototype manufacturing and testing.
We have a large variety of instances and markets that makes the model highly scalable.
EV instances and markets are a subset of these.
Model works as follows
1. CONCEPT DESIGN – based on customer specifications we develop concept designs
2. TECHNICAL DESIGN – based on a selected concept design, we construct a detailed technical design including CAD models and workshop drawings for manufacture
3. PROTOTYPE – we manufacture a prototype
4. TEST – we test the prototype
5. LICENCE – we sell a licence for our IP to empower the customer to market the developed gear in their own products
6. SUPPORT – we provide support and update on new developments
The above program can be iterated and rerouted various ways.
Different payments apply each stage.
PATENTS
We have patents granted in 13 countries and plan to generate 2-3 new ones every year in the following many years.
PRODUCTION BUSINESS MODEL
We manufacture & sell selected gear products directly to gear users.
Model will start at a later stage when the necessary capex will become available.
SYNERGIES
We will run the two models in parallel in the future and make use of the massive synergies between them. Such synergies include cost savings in shared R&D and product development, manufacturing, marketing & sales as well as common branding, advertising and PR.
EXPONENTIAL SCALING, GIGANTIC GROWTH POTENTIAL
Both business models follow the usual rules of the economies of scale – with the added feature of synergies as said above. Considering the giant size of the market and our unique competitive advantages, the upside potential for our business is immense.
TRANSFER-FEE BASED MARKETING STRATEGY
We will provide to selected customers prototypes for testing purposes allowing for a delayed payment. If after the test they want to continue and ‘transfer’ to a next step/test then they have to pay. If they do not make the transfer then they can return the prototype back to us at no charge.
This program will start as soon as the necessary funding becomes available.
