Stellar Industries’ Hybrid Power Source (HPS) has been selected as a finalist for the CONEXPO-CON/AGG Next Level Awards. 

This awards program honors outstanding achievement and breakthroughs in the construction industry, with submissions judged on innovation, application, engineering, scalability, and impact. Stellar said this recognition places it among the most innovative leaders in the field, underscoring its impact in the industry and dedication to moving it forward.

“CONEXPO-CON/AGG is committed to celebrating innovation and recognizing those companies that are shaping the future of our industry,” said Dana Wuesthoff, CONEXPO-CON/AGG Show Director. “Being named a finalist for the Next Level Awards is a testament to the hard work, creativity, and excellence that organizations like Stellar bring to our sector. We look forward to showcasing these outstanding achievements at the show.”

The Stellar HPS is one of 10 finalists in the equipment category. These 10 finalists will compete for the most attendee votes during CONEXPO-CON/AGG, March 3 – 7 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“It’s truly an honor to be named a finalist for this award,” said Tim Davison, vice president of sales and marketing for Stellar. “Our team works hard to bring the needs of our customers to life — and that’s exactly what the HPS stands for. We are continuously improving our products to better serve an industry that continues to push the envelope.”

HPS: Emission-Free Power System

The Stellar HPS is a first in the service truck industry — a fully integrated, emission-free power system designed to redefine how technicians work. By combining automotive-grade lithium-ion technology with a modular hydraulic power system, the HPS delivers clean, reliable energy for hydraulic tools and equipment without relying on the chassis engine.

Stellar said the HPS is not just a battery; it’s a power system engineered for the next generation of work.

Innovation That Drives Change

The HPS transforms how service trucks deliver power. The system provides 100% emission-free, low-voltage energy to operate hydraulic tools, cranes, compressors, and stabilizers quietly and efficiently on the jobsite. With anti-idle compliance and modular battery configurations, operators can choose the ideal setup for their runtime and performance needs.

When charging is required, the system automatically uses the truck’s alternator — even while driving to the next jobsite — or standard 120V connection to recharge, helping eliminate downtime while reducing fuel use and emissions.

Application That Spans Every Fleet

Designed to work seamlessly with both internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicle (EV) chassis, Stellar said the HPS bridges the gap between today’s service trucks and tomorrow’s zero-emission fleets.
