Eaton Trucks has experience with development of hybrid electric powertrains ...
Eaton Trucks: Hybrid Electric Powertrain Systems: "Because hybrid systems comply with emissions regulations while reducing fuel consumption and improving drivability, they possess great appeal for both the light- and medium-duty market segments. "
Eaton supplied Fedex with hybrid powertrain system to create a more efficient delivery truck ...
Fedex: Innovative Technology Produces Hybrid Electric Powertrain: "Eaton's hybrid-electric powertrain effectively combines a diesel engine and electric motor to drive the vehicle. A computer determines the most efficient combination, depending on current operating conditions and driver demand. A four-cylinder engine replaces the six-cylinder version currently used in the FedEx Express W700 delivery vehicle. The engine size is reduced because of the added power provided by the electric motor. A particulate trap has been added to the truck to further reduce emissions. "
GM's hybrid-electric systems are driving emissions reduction in mass transit ...
General Motors: Hybrid Buses: "GM is also applying hybrid technology to mass transit operations across North America. The state-of-the-art buses, powered by an advanced hybrid-electric powertrain developed by our Allison Transmission division, dramatically reduce emissions from the diesel engine – an environmental plus in Southern California and other metropolitan locations across the United States. Referred to as the EP System, the hybrid-electric powertrain is a strong parallel hybrid architecture that is scaleable for various medium- to heavy-duty vehicle platforms. "
