Peterbilt Hybrid

Peterbilt will display a production-representative, hybrid-electric medium duty truck – outfitted with a fully integrated bucket lift body – at the Hybrid Truck Users Forum National Meeting in San Diego.
The Class 7 Model 335 is ideal for municipal and utility applications and features advanced technologies that provide improved fuel economy while reducing noise and emissions. The hybrid Model 335 will be in limited production in 2007. . . ."
This sounds promising.

Re: Peterbilt Hybrid
Agreed. It's about time. But what is the 55 foot aerial used for?? And don't tell me it's to capture the 1.2 Gigawatts.
"The hybrid Model 335 on display at the HTUF meeting November 14 through 16 will be equipped with a Terex body and 55-foot aerial."

This application makes a lot of sense because you need the power to operate the 'cherry picker' but you don't need main engine power. This is one of those areas beyond what a traditional 12V or 24V system would handle. It is a good match and apparently it also provides motive power (aka., move it down to the next pole.)
