Crosspoint Kinetics announced that its Kinetics Hybrid system will fit many class 3-7 trucks including the Isuzu Reach platform, Ford E-350, Ram 5500, Chevrolet 4500 and several others.
The Kinetics Hybrid system bolts onto new or existing powertrains to add hybrid fuel efficiency. Installing Kinetics Hybrid technology involves bolting on a parallel electric hybrid system to a vehicle’s driveline to capture kinetic energy while slowing and braking. The captured energy is stored in ultra-capacitors after being converted to electricity. The stored power is then used to launch and accelerate a vehicle.

The system has undergone testing through the FTA at Altoona, CALSTART and Cummins, according to Crosspoint Kinetics. Any vehicle that is front engine, rear-wheel drive with a wheelbase of at least 158 inches is compatible with the Kinetics Hybrid system.
“That makes the Kinetics Hybrid a more versatile system for fleets that lease, run multiple models or that want to move the hybrid from one vehicle to another based on when they retire their vehicles,” said Amy Dobrikova, vice president of business development and strategy at Crosspoint Kinetics.
Fleet owners can purchase the system directly from Crosspoint Kinetics or through the company’s distributors such as ARBOC, Champion, Glaval, Goshen, Morgan Olson, and Utilimaster.

Westport and Volvo are demonstrating a 500-hp truck with diesel-like efficiency — one that also offers what Westport says is a better pathway to using hydrogen fuel in trucks.
Relying on diesel alone exposes fleets to fuel price volatility. Here’s why diversification with electric, natural gas, and renewable fuels can reduce risk.
Range Energy said its production-ready eTrailer system proved it can boost stability, safety, and efficiency in sub-zero winter conditions as the company moves toward scaled deployment.
Watch to learn how Deflecktor's new wheel cover design is taking a simpler approach to aerodynamics, with an eye toward making it more practical for both trucks and trailers.
Aerodynamic wheel covers can deliver small but meaningful fuel-economy gains for fleets, and Deflecktor says its latest design aims to make the technology easier and more affordable to deploy.
When diesel prices are as volatile as they've been in 2026, it makes it tough for trucking fleets to plan and control costs. Breakthrough Fuel's Jenny Vander Zanden has insights on near-term savings strategies.
