In January, 2009 85% of the top 100 fleet managers reported either active or
passive interest in purchasing hybrid trucks
However, amongst alternative powertrain technologies biodiesel emerged as a
more preferred technology when compared to hybrid powertrain technology.
Demand for hybrid trucks slowly but surely on the rise, especially in the current
environment as diesel prices show promise of an increase and regulations get
stronger.
