Known as San Diego’s first certified green plumber, Anderson Plumbing, Heating & Air has turned to a greener large truck option — the diesel-electric hybrid Hino COE (cab-over engine).
To reduce its carbon footprint and fuel expenses, this female-owned plumbing, heating and air company has started to integrate the hybrid Hino cab-over into its service truck fleet.
The all-new Hino COE models were designed specifically for the North American market. Available with diesel or diesel-electric hybrid powertrains, the 19,500-lb. GVW Class 5 COE trucks both feature 210 hp and 440 lb.-ft. of torque from Hino’s 5.0L J05E Series engine, utilizing Aisin’s A465, 6-speed automatic transmission.
The new 2013 HINO diesel-electric hybrid trucks provide 30-35-percent better fuel economy compared with standard diesel models, which could save up to 500 gallons less diesel fuel annually.
Hino Trucks was honored by the National Biodiesel Board for becoming the first manufacturer to support the use of B-20 biodiesel blends in a hybrid-electric truck, as well as in its complete product line of class 6 and 7 conventional trucks.
