A Global Analysis of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Hybrid Trucks and Buses
The growing excitement over hybrid technologies in the consumer sector of the auto industry is carrying over to the nascent market for commercial hybrid vehicles, as emission standards continue to grow increasingly stringent and the price of oil is increasingly uncontrollable. This report examines the current and forecast market for commercial hybrid vehicles, including vans, trucks and buses. As the report observes, the market is extremely small; fewer than 9,000 commercial hybrid vehicles were produced in 2008, and many of those are being integrated into fleets for testing over real-world duty cycles. Some forward-thinking organizations (like New York City’s Metropolitan Transit Authority) have been integrating hybrid vehicles buses into their fleets as standard diesel vehicles reach the end of their useful lifespans; other are certain to follow suit as the ROI of these new technologies becomes more clearly defined.
