International, Eaton See Diesel-Electric Hybrid Trucks by 2006
10/18/2004 International Truck and Engine Corp. and Eaton Corp.
will manufacture medium-duty, diesel-electric hybrid trucks in a
national pilot program for the utility industry.
The pilot truck program will test a minimum of 20 factory-built
International utility trucks featuring an integrated hybrid
powertrain solution jointly developed by the two companies.
According to the announcement, both International and Eaton
believe that diesel-electric hybrid technology holds significant
promise. If the pilot program is successful and customer needs
are met, International is prepared to produce diesel-electric
hybrid trucks as early as 2006.
The program was announced at the Hybrid Truck Users Forum
operated by WestStart, an advanced technology consortium bringing
together truck fleet users, truck makers, technology companies,
and the U.S. military.
WestStart will administer the pilot program through the support
of the U.S Army's National Automotive Center, the Army's official
link to working with commercial and academic partners. The
center's director, Dennis J. Wend, believes diesel-electric
hybrid technology built on a commercial truck platform will
benefit utilities and other commercial customers and can be
rapidly transferred to military applications.
"Together, International and Eaton are delivering an integrated
solution that allows the customer to attain a 40 to 60% increase
in fuel economy and exceed new standards for fuel emissions,"
said Kevin Beaty, Hybrid Business Unit manager for Eaton.
The initial powertrain will couple an International DT 466
in-line six-cylinder diesel engine with an Eaton hybrid-electric
drivetrain, incorporating a transmission, batteries and permanent
magnet motor. The system recovers kinetic energy during braking,
charging batteries while the truck is slowing down. This provides
additional power for acceleration, making the hybrid trucks ideal
for in-city driving situations with frequent starting and
stopping.
The diesel-electric hybrid test vehicles, International 4000
Series medium trucks, will be manufactured at International's
Springfield, Ohio, truck assembly plant. The International dealer
network, along with a team of specialists from both International
and Eaton, will provide field support.
