Sabre Engineering awarded SBIR grant from the US Department of Defense.
For immediate release
February 2, 2004
Sabre Engineering, Inc. today
announced the Phase I award of a Department of Defense, Special Operations
Command (USSOCOM) SBIR program entitled, “Development of a Family of Modular
Light Tactical Wheeled Vehicles.” The program’s objective is to develop a new
core vehicle design concept that will support a multitude of tactical roles
while being lighter in weight and readily adaptable both in manufacturing and in
the field. This new design will be air-transportable in the CV-22 Osprey while
maintaining a high payload capacity.
This fast paced six month
program builds on Sabre Engineering’s experience in the design and manufacture
of specialty hybrid electrical vehicles and components. This new design and
accompanying manufacturing method will provide the Department of Defense a
vehicle that is swift to produce in any quantity while providing a cost
effective and adaptable platform for future combat roles.
“The fact that the US
Department of Defense has awarded this grant is very gratifying and provides a
clear indication of the importance that the military and SOCOM in particular are
placing on new innovative vehicle designs and manufacturing methods,” said
Robert W. Schmitz, Chief Executive Officer at Sabre Engineering, Inc. “Sabre
Engineering’s enabling technology is a real breakthrough for the design and
manufacture of modular interchangeable components that will greatly reduce the
logistical demands on the SOCOM fleet of combat vehicles.”
This project is an integral
part of Sabre Engineering’s mission of providing vehicle systems and components
that improve the function and reduce the operational cost of advanced hybrid
electric vehicles from transit buses to highly specialized designs. Its systems
are currently used on vehicles that are transporting 55,000 passengers daily in
24x7 operations.

Sabre Engineering CEO Robert W. Schmitz - Interviewed on Live TV
Sabre Engineering's CEO, Robert W. Schmitz, was
interviewed on Live TV by
Denver KWGN Channel 2
News about the Denver 16th street mall shuttle buses. As the one
responsible for directing the engineering and design effort as well as being the
author of the unique hybrid control system, Robert was interviewed live on the
mall by news anchor
Ms. Natalie Tysdal, where they discussed the design and operational
efficiency of the worlds largest fleet of operating hybrid buses.
These large (45') hybrid buses each pollute less
than 1/60th that of a conventional diesel bus, while carrying twice the number
of riders. In other terms each bus carries 116 passengers while polluting
less than a small car. The technology developed for this achievement and
specifically the advanced adaptive control system designed by Robert has been
granted four US patents for its innovation.
The shuttle's design and operation has received
numerous awards and accolades for its positive role in providing fast clean
transportation on the 1.5 mile route that interconnects the primary bus and
light rail routes inside Denver, with the hybrids transporting upwards of 55,000
riders each day in a seven day per week cycle. The shuttles serve the open
air 16th. street Mall route while providing a clean environment for businesses
to operate downtown.
