Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation
(NYSE:ETN), a global leader in the development of hybrid power
systems for commercial trucks and buses, announced today at the
Hybrid, Electric and High Efficiency Truck Users Forum (HTUF) 2011
National Conference in Baltimore, Md., that customers of its hybrid
systems have collectively accumulated more than 200 million miles
of service, reducing diesel fuel consumption by 8 million gallons
and harmful emissions by 80,000 metric tons.
More than 5,500 of Eaton’s hybrid systems are in use today
worldwide on city buses, school buses, package delivery trucks,
beverage delivery trucks, refrigerated delivery trucks, refuse and
recycling trucks, utility vehicles and other commercial
applications. Eaton's hybrid systems and advanced drivetrains will
provide reliable and practical solutions for commercial vehicle
manufactures to comply with new U.S. Department of Transportation
and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fuel efficiency and
greenhouse gas pollution standards in 2014. Eaton will begin
working with vehicle manufacturers in 2012 to certify technologies
with the EPA to assist in complying with these new regulations.
“Eaton’s leadership position in hybrid power systems is
expanding, and we’re seeing global acceptance of hybrid technology
among truck and bus manufacturers as well as fleet owners and
operators,” said John Ritter, vice president and general manager of
Eaton’s Hybrid Power Systems Division. “Many initial hybrid
customers are returning to place orders for trucks and buses, and a
record number of new customers are starting to step forward and
experience the benefits of our proven technology.”
The company set major hybrid systems milestones over the past
two years, delivering systems to global customers in Australia,
Belgium, Canada, China, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Japan,
Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Qatar, Russia, Singapore,
Taiwan, the United Kingdom and United States. In addition to hybrid
electric systems, Eaton began commercial production of its hybrid
hydraulic system known as Eaton Hydraulic Launch Assist™ or Eaton
HLA® in the fall of 2010.
Eaton offers the world’s most complete lineup of hybrid systems
for commercial vehicle applications and the charging and networked
charging infrastructure for commercial and residential
applications. Eaton hybrid electric and hybrid hydraulic power

globally including Crane Carrier Corporation, DAF, Daimler, Ford,
Foton, Freightliner, International, Iveco, JNP, King Long,

Light, and many utility and telecom companies across North America
and city bus transit fleets in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and
Latin America are using Eaton hybrid power in their fleets.
