The Hyliion® Hybrid solution, designed for Class 8 CNG and diesel commercial trucks, can provide fuel savings or performance improvements via Hyliion’s battery-powered electric hybrid powertrain, which also includes built-in auxiliary power unit, or APU, capability.
Combined with Hyliion’s proprietary software, this comprehensive solution enables fleets to maximize operational performance and advance their ESG goals.*
WHY GO
HYBRID?
Free from being dependent on sparse semi-truck charging infrastructure, Hyliion provides an electric hybrid powertrain that captures energy as it drives, providing battery electric benefits for fleets to adopt today, not years from now.
The
System
Brand and engine agnostic, Hyliion Hybrid bolts onto existing or new OEM truck chassis, with a modular and straightforward design that allows for easy installation and simple servicing.
How It
Works
The Hyliion Hybrid captures energy through regenerative braking, storing it in the Hyliion battery system. Hyliion’s proprietary software algorithms utilize that energy to improve vehicle performance, without any driver input needed.*
If the truck is a sleeper cab, the system will utilize its built-in APU functionality to reduce idle time.
Power Assist
Energy is captured when traveling downhill and when braking, and then used in a focused manner to provide additional power when needed, such as on uphill grades. This additional power allows the recipient truck to perform as if it has a larger engine in it.*
Typically utilized for CNG fueled trucks.
Fuel Savings
Special focus is applied to the capture of energy, ensuring maximum efficiency. The system then uses that energy to reduce fuel consumption during normal operations, by providing a supplementary power source to reduce the load on the traditional engine.
Testing in the hilly terrain of Pennsylvania demonstrated a 7% increase in fuel efficiency, when compared to a stock truck.**
Typically utilized for diesel fueled trucks.
APU
During rest periods, APU functionality uses stored energy in the battery system to provide 8 hours of air conditioning for the driver, which reduces engine idling and fuel consumption.***
This functionality is only available on sleeper cabs.
*System performance based on multiple factors including, but not limited to, driver behavior, vehicle configuration and condition, vehicle weight and load, terrain, road conditions, and weather.
**Diesel fuel savings may vary based on multiple factors including, but not limited to, driver behavior, vehicle configuration and condition, vehicle weight and load, terrain, road conditions, and weather. Results are based on a simulation validated in accordance with SAE J1526 Fuel Consumption Test Procedures.

Software
Technology
The brain of the powertrain, Hyliion’s software technology is the driving force behind the entire system.
Hyliion Hybrid comes with intelligent system algorithms, geographical awareness, a configurable battery management system, automatic traction-assist and a sophisticated user interface for an all-around better driver experience.
The Hyliion Hybrid software system algorithms are designed to maximize output according to the desired objective (fuel savings or power assist), utilizing numerous system, terrain and data inputs. The system regularly monitors over 1GB of data per tractor, per day.
* Illustration for representative purposes only.
Cloud-based Hyliion Terrain Look-Ahead technology analyzes up to 25 miles of terrain ahead of the vehicle, to feed back into the system’s algorithms, allowing for the precise capture and usage of energy.
Hyliion’s proprietary Battery Management System (BMS) controls the li-ion battery pack, using advanced state-of-charge calculations and dynamic cell balancing, for the ultimate in safety and reliability.
In-cab interface designed to provide system status and control for features like Terrain Look-Ahead and Automatic Traction-Assist.
The Hyliion Hybrid is equipped with over-the-air update capability, allowing the system to be remotely updated as the software is upgraded, reducing downtime and the need for unscheduled maintenance.
