PASADENA, CA – Innovations in diesel technology during the past decade have reduced key emissions from new school buses, delivery, and utility trucks by more than 90 percent.
PASADENA, CA – Innovations in diesel technology during the past decade have reduced key emissions from new school buses, delivery, and utility trucks by more than 90 percent. WestStart-CALSTART, the nation’s advanced transportation technologies consortium, recently announced Navistar International Corporation, a leading truck and engine producer, as the recipient of the organization’s 2007 Blue Sky Award for its contributions to the commercial development of diesel-hybrid technology.
Diesel hybrids offer an advanced alternative to modernize truck fleets. By combining a certified clean diesel engine with an electric system that recovers energy during braking, hybrid trucks deliver up to 70–100 percent better fuel economy and 30–60 percent lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional-powered trucks.
Navistar International Corporation will display its diesel-hybrid truck at the Blue Sky Awards program Sept. 6 at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Experts will be available to discuss the technology, provide a hands-on tour of the powertrain, and explain its benefits.
