Glad to hear your company produces hybrid trucks -- that's where the real fuel savings are! Are these delivery trucks (such as used by UPS, FEDEX...). That seems like an obvious, high mileage and low speeds, application.

That's one potential application. Another is utility trucks, the kind with the bucket lift. Those trucks don't drive as many miles but they sit with the engine running for hours to power the bucket and other accessories. We have a hybrid system that lets those run off of stored electricity and greatly reduces the engine running time.

Hope this works: click here

I hadn't heard of this one. Good to see the effort.
