To achieve fuel economy gains, the Lightning Hybrids ERS applies a hydraulic system to a vehicle to regenerate braking energy, which is stored and used during acceleration. The system, which does not have electric batteries, uses this otherwise wasted energy for acceleration, supplementing power from the internal combustion engine to reduce fuel costs for fleets and greatly cut emissions. The Lightning Hybrids' ERS is compatible with all fuels types and is available for installation on new vehicles and can also be retrofitted to existing vehicles.
"Lightning Hybrids is now able to provide the fleet marketplace in Mexico with a unique hybrid technology which can significantly reduce operating costs by significantly reducing fuel use and vehicle maintenance while transforming fleets to more environmentally friendly operations," said Dave Brosky, vice president of sales, Lightning Hybrids. "We are excited to participate in the Expotransporte ANPACT show and to demonstrate the integral role hybrid systems will play in truck and bus efficiency."
