Major UK operators trial hybrid trucks
Written on November 30, 2007 – 5:14 am | by admin |
Tesco, DHL and the Royal Mail are among several high-profile companies about to embark on hybrid truck trials in the UK. Each operator has purchased its own Mitsubishi Canter Eco Hybrid 7.5-tonner (albeit subsidised by Mercedes-Benz), which will go into service in London in early 2008. The performance of the vehicles will be closely monitored by the operator and Mercedes-Benz. Transport for London is also involved, and will oversee the three-year trial.
