The trucking industry can expect to see more heavy- and medium-duty hybrid trucks on the road, as the market for them is expected to grow from 9,000 units sold in 2010 to more than 100,000 in 2015, according to a new report by Pike Research. They forecasts that a total of almost 300,000 hybrid trucks will be sold worldwide over this five-year period.

It can deliver a reduction in fuel consumption by between 5 and 50 percent, depending on design.
