EVANSVILLE, IN – Atlas Van Lines unveiled its first diesel-electric hybrid moving truck April 8 during a ceremony at Atlas Terminal Company on the Atlas World Group corporate campus. The truck was picked up by its new owner, Atlas Van Lines agent William Duggan, according to InsideINdianaBusiness.com.
Duggan, owner of the Walpole, Mass.-based household goods relocation business, took possession of his 2010 Kenworth T370 diesel-electric hybrid straight truck, purchased from Atlas Terminal Company and sourced from Evansville dealer Palmer Trucks and body manufacturer Kentucky Trailer.
