Freightliner taking hybrid technology on tour in 2007
The hybrid engine technology developed and introduced by Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation (FCCC), Eaton and Detroit Diesel will be on public display for the first time at two of the trucking industry’s largest shows in early 2007.
A new step forward in the medium-duty truck industry, the hybrid walk-in van chassis from FCCC will make its debut at the Technology and Maintenance Council’s 2007 Annual Exhibition, being held Feb. 6 to 8 in Tampa, Fla. Next, a fully configured hybrid electric walk-in van will be available for driving demonstrations at the NTEA Work Truck Show Hybrid Ride and Drive, being held March 7 to 9 in Indianapolis, Ind.
Hybrid walk-in vans are built on FCCC’s MT-45 SR chassis platform, which provides all of the operating benefits of a standard Freightliner walk-in van chassis along with the added value and savings from the hybrid-electric powertrain.
