C.A.T. Transport is taking a new step in its natural gas propulsion approach, as the company’s first hybrid truck recently hit the road.
Hyliion Inc. and Dana Incorporated recently launched a national program with truck leasing, rental and maintenance company Idealease to demonstrate Hyliion’s Hybrid Diesel Powertrain.
Hyliion Inc., looking to make its own claim in the Class 8 electrified market, launched its Hypertruck Electric Range Extender (ERX), a long-haul, fully electric powertrain, with an order from logistics company Agility for 1,000 trucks.
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.
Hyliion founder and CEO Thomas Healy explains how his electric axle integrates with a Class 7 and 8 truck to improve gas mileage under acceleration and up hills.
Hyliion's hybrid system adds an electric motor to the non-driven axle of a 6x2 setup. The system helps trucks in the least efficient situations, such as under acceleration and up hills. Equipment Editor Jim Park drove a loaded truck with Hyliion’s system and gives his initial thoughts on how it operates.
Dana hosted a test drive of trucks outfitted with its latest technology at TMC’s annual meeting in Atlanta.
Dana has announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Hyliion Incorporated, a leading developer of Class 8 electric truck drivetrain technology.
Hyliion’s hybrid-electric system makes the truck feel like you have only half a load in the box, says Equipment Editor Jim Park.
