Well, I don\u2019t usually simply copy and paste a company\u2019s press release as I find this lazy and not really adding anything that a simple link couldn\u2019t add. But in this one case, I\u2019m simply going to lay out the press release of this PHEV underground vehicle and let you choose the merits of such a device.<\/p>\n
\u201cDUECO Inc., in conjunction with Odyne and Vanair Manufacturing, is the FIRST to offer a Plug-In Hybrid Underground Utility Vehicle (HUUV). With enough power for plastic pipe fusing, the truck\u2019s hybrid drive system powers an air compressor, exportable power, and an auxiliary climate control system.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Vanair 125 \/ 185 CFM underdeck air compressor is a common piece of equipment used by utility companies to operate pneumatic tools, such as pavement breakers, tampers and mole tools. \u2018By powering the Vanair compressor through a large battery system we eliminate engine idle, as well as, the need for a tow-behind compressor at a jobsite,\u2019 states DUECO Executive Vice President Joseph Dalum. The HUUV is also equipped with a compressor automatic shut down device that automatically starts and stops the compressor based on demand. This element substantially increases battery life and decreases needless compressor operation.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end of a workday, the HUUV plugs into a charging station where the batteries recharge during off-peak hours. The truck can also recharge at any point, while idling or driving, with the conventional diesel engine. The unit is complete with regenerative braking and launch assist to provide additional fuel efficiency, emission enhancements, extended brake life. These additional PHEV features offer greater benefits than just an idle reduction system.<\/p>\n
\u201cDUECO Inc. and Odyne have previously unveiled the industry\u2019s FIRST Plug-in Hybrid medium-duty aerial lift, heavy-duty tandem axle aerial lift and digger derrick.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpecializing in the final stage manufacturing of aerial lifts, digger derricks, cranes, and custom bodies, DUECO can also provide trailers, mini-diggers, cable placers, parts, and service. Family owned and operated for more than 50 years, DUECO\u2019s philosophy of teamwork, integrity, and open communication with customers and employees help ensure high quality equipment at the best value.\u201d<\/p>\n
There you have it, a first, a one of a kind. PHEV\u2019s are the future and not only make sense for cars but also make sense for large work trucks and many other kinds of vehicles as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
