Car Transport Welcomes First 18-Tonne Hybrid Truck

The next generation of transport vehicles conducting auto shipping services on the roads of the United States of America will be even more fuel effcient than the previous one and each generation will of course have to be tested on the car transport roads and highways of America, before they'll be accepted for use by the car movers of America. Two companies recently announced they would be partnering in a trail program designed to check the usefulness of the world's first 18-tonne hybrid transport truck that according to some sources has achieved fuel savings in the neighbourhood of 15 percent. Sources also indicate that this hybrid transort truck is powered by an electric motor and a diesel engine, which can be operated individually or in combination.

Reports surrounding this partnership indicate that the trial program is expected to run for about two years, which is a significant amount of time that should give us a great indication of the usefulness of this first hybrid 18-tonne transport truck. This certainly is going to have benefits down the road for the two companies that have partnered in this trial program to test this 18-tonne hybrid transport truck and it might help reduce the carbon wheel-print of the firm that will be implementing this new hybrid transport truck for the two year period in question. Apparently, the firms involved in this trial program understand the possible benefits down the road for them by becoming involved in this trial program, and they obviously want to try to increase the efficiency of their operations in the years ahead in the century of the environment.

The development of the first 18-tonne hybrid transport truck is certainly an event that many transport professionals were expecting to see and one whose time has certainly arrived. Hopefully, the trials go better than expected and this first 18-tonne hybrid transport vehicle is only the first of many that are created and manufactured in the years ahead that help reduce the carbon wheel-print of America's transport industry.
