Fuel Economy

Fuel Economy / Emissions

Eaton’s hybrid power systems for commercial vehicles can provide fuel savings ranging from 30 to 60 percent, depending upon the application, and can lower emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrous oxide (NO2) and particulate matter up to 70 percent.

  • Hybrid power is particularly appealing for Class 6, 7, and 8 vehicles - especially in stop-and- go applications.
  • Other than fuel economy and emissions, hybrid power systems can also provide increased functionality, quieter operation, and improved performance.
  • Eaton’s hybrid power systems are now in service at companies such as FedEx Express, UPS, Coca-Cola Enterprises and PepsiCo.
  • Eaton’s diesel-electric hybrid power system is currently available as a production option at most North American commercial vehicle manufacturers.
