Fuel Economy
Improvements in fuel economy offer the single most compelling justification for hybrid power systems. Eaton's hybrid power system has been shown to reduce fuel consumption by up to 60 percent in certain applications.
Even without accounting for the rising cost of fuel year over year, this base reduction in fuel consumption results in tangible returns on the initial investment of a hybrid power system.
The EPA estimates savings of more than 1,000 gallons of fuel per year for a typical hybrid urban delivery vehicle, or nearly $3,000 back to the bottom line.

Real Results
Given typical usage for the Utility application, the Eaton hybrid electric system has a payback in less than 7 years. Moreover, the hybrid electric system yields savings in excess of $69,000 over the vehicle's service life of 12 years.The EPA estimates savings of more than 1,000 gallons of fuel per year for a typical hybrid urban delivery vehicle, or nearly $3,000 back to the bottom line.
