Electrified truck powertrain developer Hyliion Inc. plans to merge with Tortoise Acquisition Corp., an acquisition company that focuses on the energy sector and decarbonizing commercial transportation.
Hyliion will provide three vehicles to Penske Truck Leasing equipped with its 6X4HE Class 8 hybrid system, using Spicer Electrified e-Powertrain components.
Battery-electric and hydrogen-electric trucks and components stole the show at the North American Commercial Vehicle Show.
Will disruptive technology bring new players to the North American Class 8 market? That’s a question Hyundai is clearly considering.

XL customers have driven 100 million miles using the company's hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric drive systems, according to the company, which is also celebrating its tenth anniversary this year.
XL is now offering two plug-in hybrid versions of the Ford F-Series, one in an F-150 and one in an F-250. The flexible XL solution is designed for a wide variety of applications.
Eric Foellmer says XL's plan is to continue supplementing the electrification strategy of the OEMs, which includes its present hybrid and plug-in hybrid systems and eventually an all-electric system.
Climate change is an important issue in trucking, as it’s rapidly changing the technology and the fueling and power options in the trucks we’re able to buy today and in the future.
Hyliion founder and CEO Thomas Healy explains how his electric axle integrates with a Class 7 and 8 truck to improve fuel mileage under acceleration and up hills.
