Eaton announced that customers of its hybrid systems have accumulated more than 100 million miles of service, reducing fuel consumption by 4 million gallons of diesel fuel and emissions by 40,000 metric tons.
Hydraulic hybrids
Hydraulic hybrid chosen for bus demonstrator
Altair Engineering has selected Parker Hannifin’s series hybrid hydraulic drive system for its BUSolutions project. The system will enable the new advanced bus platform to achieve 45-70% increased fuel economy over average diesel powertrains and more than double the fuel economy improvement of hybrid-electrics.
Energy-Saving Hydraulics
Hydraulics have won wide acceptance for factory and mobile applications because of its power, strength, durability and control. But new lines of research are focusing in on efficiency.
Fluid power: Saving Energy with Efficient Fluid Power
Here are a few key developments that make hydraulic systems more “green,” more efficient, and that tap efficiency to create energy-saving alternatives to conventional equipment.
