Semi-Trailer Trucks Test Converting Into Plug-In Hybrids

a 40% fuel savings?

$150,000 capital cost?

GTFOOH.

 

At 40% reduction in fuel cost, it would take me 10 years to pay it back.
No thanks.

 

And I don’t believe the fuel cost # even for a second. What was the name of the outfit in Texas, Hyliion or something? They barely got savings into the teens with their hybrid retrofit. And thus out of the business.

 

So the trailer provides thrust now.

 

Gee, I sure do wonder why nobody has done this yet even though this is actually old technology...maybe something for nothing still doesn't work and never has?
