Hyliion's hybrid system adds an electric motor to the non-driven axle of a 6x2 setup. The system helps trucks in the least efficient situations, such as under acceleration and up hills. Equipment Editor Jim Park drove a loaded truck with Hyliion’s system and gives his initial thoughts on how it operates.
Dana hosted a test drive of trucks outfitted with its latest technology at TMC’s annual meeting in Atlanta.
Dana has announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Hyliion Incorporated, a leading developer of Class 8 electric truck drivetrain technology.
Hyliion’s hybrid-electric system makes the truck feel like you have only half a load in the box, says Equipment Editor Jim Park.
Hyliion has acquired the battery division of vehicle electrification company Gentherm and announced strategic partnerships with both Toshiba and Dana.
A powered auxiliary axle for road tractors from Hyliion has won the 2018 Jim Winsor Memorial Technical Achievement Award, the awards committee has announced.
Hyliion, which produces a hybrid electric axle system for Class 8 trucks, has created a trial fleet of trucks equipped with its 6x4HE system to allow fleets to test the vehicles in their own operations for free.
The Hyliion 6X4HE system, which includes an electric APU that saves another 12% in fuel, is being tested by three major fleets.
