Hybrid Drive is suited for stop-and-start Class 8 vehicles.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 08:32:12 -0500

Hydro-mechanical series reduces fuel consumption, emissions, and brake wear while increasing productivity in vehicles used in high start-and-stop applications, such as refuse trucks. It replaces conventional transmission with one that marries variable features of hydrostatic drive, suited for urban routes, with performance of mechanical drive, suited for highway speeds. Also, accumulated energy from vehicle's braking system is stored and used to power truck each time it accelerates.
