Thousands of work vehicles use generators to provide electrical power for tools and equipment at job sites and Odyne said this creates unnecessary harmful emissions and noise pollution.

The Odyne evAPU system has a large 35 kWh grid-recharged battery system and export power inverters that provide 6 to 12 kW of AC 120V or 240V electrical power.

IRS Qualified Manufacturer Designation

In 2023 the Internal Revenue Service designated Odyne as a qualified manufacturer, which enables purchases of trucks with Odyne plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) systems to claim a Qualified Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit of up to $40,000.

Odyne Systems Celebrating 15th Anniversary

Earlier this year, Odyne began observing its 15th anniversary. Since 2009, the company has delivered electrification systems to more than 80 fleets, built a nationwide service network, and developed an exclusive relationship with Allison Transmission.

Odyne has been granted more than 60 proprietary patents for plug-in electric system technology for large truck applications and is on track to deliver over 500 PHEV and electric power take-off (ePTO) systems by the end of 2024.
