Brand and engine agnostic, the Hyliion Hybrid bolts onto existing or new model truck chassis, with a modular and straightforward design that allows for easy installation and simple servicing.
Hyliion Hybrid
A retrofit Class 8 hybrid powertrain, providing the benefits of electrification without changing day-to-day operations or preferred models
Putting Kinetic Energy to Work
Hyliion Hybrid converts kinetic energy that would otherwise be lost into useful benefits for fleets of all sizes.
Operational Performance
Utilizing captured energy from its e-axle, Hybrid can improve fuel efficiency when equipped on diesel tractors and provide a necessary power boost when equipped on CNG tractors.
Attainable Electrification
Requiring no new fueling infrastructure and able to be installed on most Class 8 tractors, Hybrid provides an easy to integrate electrified solution. The powertrain operates automatically and requires minimal training to operate.
Idle Reduction
When equipped on a sleeper cab tractor, Hybrid doubles as an electric auxiliary power unit (eAPU) that can reduce engine idling by providing up to eight hours of idle-free air conditioning.
Featuring
State-of-the-Art Innovation
Designed to be easy to operate, Hyliion Hybrid combines software and hardware
features into a retrofit electrified powertrain solution.
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.
Automatic Traction-Assist provides support and peace of mind to the driver, automatically engaging e-axle traction assist at speeds up to 25mph.
Hyliion Hybrid’s CoPilot HMI provides the driver with all the information needed to operate and monitor the system, including the eAPU functionality.
The Hyliion Hybrid
Explained
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.
Keep Your Model of Choice
Drivers and Fleets Love It
Bring the benefits of the Hyliion Hybrid to your fleet with confidence by hearing what drivers and fleets are saying about this retrofit electrified powertrain.
“We chose Hyliion because it was on-the-ground technology and we were ready to advance our efforts in sustainability.”
David Shelton President and CEO, Western Dairy Transport, LLC
“I’ve been impressed with this Hybrid… It’s very noticeable when it assists climbing the hills.”
Ed Davis Driver, Matheson, Inc
“The week that I was running the Hyliion truck on CNG, the cost to operate that truck was almost two-thirds less than a diesel application. That’s massive.”
Alex Greene President, TR Oliver Trucking
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions or connect with our sales team for additional help.
Does Hyliion Hybrid replace the existing powertrain?
No, Hyliion Hybrid supplements the existing powertrain. The installation is fully reversible.
Does the system improve both fuel economy and performance?
No, the system can be setup to improve fuel economy or performance, but not both.
Which Class 8 tractors does Hyliion Hybrid work on?
We’ve installed the system on almost every major model’s product. If you’re interested in learning whether the system can work for your fleet, Hyliion can provide an assessment with just a few pieces of information.
What application or terrain is best suited for the system?
As a result of how the system captures and deploys kinetic energy, Hyliion Hybrid shows the strongest performance when used in terrain that is moderately hilly.
