WYOMING, MI – It is a new truck that could save nearly 1,000 gallons of fuel a year. The new DuraStar Hybrid truck was unveiled recently at West Michigan International Trucks in Wyoming. It is a diesel-electric hybrid, according to www.wzzm13.com.
The DuraStar is manufactured by Navistar International. The company said it offers a 30 to 60 percent fuel savings over traditional commercial trucks.
“This truck has a standard medium-duty chassis that can be used in a variety applications,” said Don Alles of Eaton Corporation. “One of the most exciting applications is in the utility and municipalities where a bucket truck might be operating at a repair site and operating almost entirely on electric power at that time. The savings there could be substantial.”
The DuraStar Hybrid is the first truck of its kind to use this diesel-electric technology, the company said.
