Waukesha, Wis. based Odyne Systems, LLC, a manufacturer of hybrid systems for medium- and heavy-duty work trucks, will be showcasing its advanced hybrid propulsion system in booth 4324 at the International Construction & Utility Equipment Exposition (ICUEE) 2013 show October 1-3 in Louisville, Ky. Odyne was recently selected to participate in a $45.4 million U.S. Department of Energy award to develop and deploy over 120 plug-in hybrid systems for trucks throughout North America.

The plug-in hybrid system on display at ICUEE, shown on an International chassis, is designed to interface with a wide variety of truck mounted equipment, saving fuel, reducing emissions, and providing quieter operation at the work site. According to Odyne, the plug-in hybrid truck system reduces fuel consumption by up to 50 percent, depending on application. It also increases power while driving by using a rugged Remy electric motor in parallel with the existing drive train to provide launch assist and regenerative braking. At the job site, the Odyne hybrid plug-in battery system, featuring Johnson Control’s lithium-ion battery packs, provides all day hybrid power on the job, according to the company.

Odyne Systems is being developed in coordination with investment partner Allison Transmission, a manufacturer of fully-automatic transmissions for medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, medium- and heavy-tactical U.S. military vehicles, and hybrid-propulsion systems for transit buses.

The Odyne propulsion system is based upon unique and patented technology. Odyne holds 6 U.S. patents and 2 international patents in the hybrid field and another 20 patents are pending. Odyne was the winner of the National Truck Equipment Association 2013 Green Award. Odyne plug-in hybrid systems will also be on display in Ford booth N-1014 and Allison Transmission booth L-465.

Turning Connected Vehicle Data Into Decisions That Matter

Fleet leaders have more data than ever, but turning that data into clear, actionable decisions remains a challenge. This white paper shows how leading organizations are using connected vehicle data to improve safety, reduce costs, and optimize fleet performance. Learn how to turn insight into action across your fleet.

Are You Tracking Your Fleet's True Total Cost of Ownership?

Bobit Business Media surveyed 190 fleet professionals and found that while most fleets are tracking costs, fragmented systems and data gaps are keeping true TCO visibility out of reach. With rising pressure to control spend in an increasingly volatile environment, the gap between what fleets think they know and what the data actually shows is wider than you might expect. See how your peers are managing costs today and where the industry still has room to improve.
