ATLANTA, Feb. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyliion
Incorporated today announced it will be providing three vehicles to
Penske Truck Leasing, all of which will incorporate its 6X4HE Class
8 hybrid system. The first of the program's three vehicles
will be displayed in the booth of partner-company Dana Incorporated
(NYSE: DAN) at the 2020 Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC)
Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition here.
"We are excited to deploy our technology with Penske, a company
that is leading the industry shift toward electrified
solutions. Our hybrid electric system on their Class 8
sleeper truck will reduce fuel consumption while also improving the
driver experience," said Thomas
Healy, CEO of Hyliion. "Our collaboration with
Dana provided the opportunity to leverage its strong product
development process and affiliation with leading fleets such as
Penske to help foster this cooperative sustainability program for
all key stakeholders."
The remaining vehicles will be delivered throughout the year,
allowing Penske to complement its fleet with the combined
Hyliion-Dana Class 8 electrified solution. It will
enable Penske operators, technicians, and end customers the
opportunity to start taking advantage of the many benefits that
electrified powertrains have without the concerns of overcoming
infrastructure, grid, and range hurdles. As part of the
program, Penske will provide ongoing assessments on current and
next-generation products.
"Dana is committed to helping fleets navigate the
electrification journey with industry-leading technologies and
programs," said Mark Wallace,
president of Dana Commercial Vehicle Drive and Motion Systems.
"Together with Hyliion, we have a unique opportunity to
implement long-haul solutions today that revolutionize power
conveyance and support fleets in meeting their sustainability
goals.
"Penske is committed to advancing and testing innovative
technologies that are shaping the future of electric mobility in
commercial transportation," said Paul
Rosa, senior vice president of procurement and fleet
planning at Penske Truck Leasing. "We look forward to deploying
these new vehicles into our fleet and evaluating them as a part of
the diversified offering of electric vehicles we have for our
customers."
The Hyliion 6X4HE system is available for immediate ordering and
will be featured in Dana's booth, No. 3403, along with its Spicer
Electrified™ systems, traditional driveline technologies, and
other solutions for commercial vehicles, at the TMC annual meeting,
