Bucket trucks go high-techHarry Clark - CleanMPG - Dec. 30, 2012The Odyne Hybrid truck.
I have personally spent many hours in a conventional bucket truck burning an awful amount of diesel and gasoline iwhile inspecting bridges for the NY State DOT. ODYNE appears to have a better way...
Odyne is a cleading manufacturer of advanced turnkey hybrid drive solutions including advanced PHEV technology enabling trucks over 14,000 lbs to have substantially lower fuel consumption, lower emissions, improved performance, quieter job site operation and reduced operating and maintenance costs.
Odyne?s modular system reduces fuel consumption by up to 50% compared to traditional diesel engines, depending on the application. The system offers the greatest benefit for trucks with driving cycles that have a high percentage of starting and stopping and extended periods of work site engine idle time to provide power to equipment or tools. An Odyne hybrid system helps fleet managers reduce their carbon footprint and meet sustainable energy goals by displacing the use of fossil fuels with cleaner, lower cost electricity from the grid, while providing a quieter, safer working environment.
Odyne ihas developed proprietary and patented hybrid technology featuring robust automotive grade components combining reliable electric power conversion, power control and energy storage technology with advanced electric propulsion motors and modular lithium ion battery systems. The Odyne hybrid power system interfaces with Allison Transmission?s industry leading fully-automatic transmissions and features Remy?s HVH250 series electric motor, boasting industry leading power density and efficiency, Johnson Controls modular lithium-ion battery systems and other robust quality components designed for rugged applications.
The system easily integrates with medium or heavy duty vehicle powertrains and is optimized for the demanding work truck market. An Odyne system can be installed on a wide variety of new and existing vehicles and is applicable across chassis manufacturers. According to a company release, the company has delivered more large trucks PHEV systems for fleets across the US than any other supplier.
The System overview
- Quiet operation for safer working conditions and extended work day
- Zero or significantly lower emissions at the job site
- Extra power for 12 volt loads
- Air conditioning and cab heating (optional) with the engine off
- Flexible operation, with software tailored to the application
- Parallel hybrid system for non-hybrid powertrain backup
- Regenerative braking to restore battery power
- High Capacity electrical energy storage increases vehicle efficiency
- Hybrid launch assist for improved acceleration, climbing and initiation of turns
- Power for vehicle mounted equipment and/or optional work site 120V/240V electrical loads with engine off
- A minimally intrusive design that preserves the chassis warranty, providing greater reliability
- More productive time in the field with fewer trips to the pump
- Charging from the grid at off-peak rates, ability to operate as hybrid without charging
- Fuel savings of up to 1750 gallons annually over the truck life
- Depending on duty cycle, up to 50% fuel economy improvements v.s. non hybrids
- Reduced fleet operating and maintenance cost
- 50 extra horsepower while driving (anti-idle trucks don?t offer)
