Hyliion Launches Fully Electric Powertrain,
Announces 1,000-Truck Pre-Order with Global Logistics Leader Agility
Hypertruck ERX leverages an existing fueling
infrastructure to offer net-negative GHG emissions and the lowest operating cost for fleets
Austin, TEXAS (June 25, 2020)—Hyliion
Inc., a leader in electrified powertrain solutions for Class 8 commercial
vehicles, announced today the launch of its Hypertruck Electric Range Extender
(ERX), a long-haul, fully electric powertrain delivering superior performance, emissions reductions and cost-savings to the global
trucking industry.
The launch of the Hypertruck ERX is
anchored by Agility, one of the world’s
leading logistics companies with $5.2 billion in revenue and offices in 100 countries. Agility
has confirmed a pre-order of up to 1,000 trucks and has agreed to invest in a private offering of securities to be issued
by Tortoise Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: SHLL) in connection with Hyliion’s recently announced business combination.
“Hyliion is leading the way in electrified trucking. Our practical
solution addresses the most important needs of today’s fleets: cost savings, lower emissions and a fueling infrastructure
that can support long-haul transportation,” said Hyliion’s CEO and founder, Thomas Healy. “We’re already
seeing robust interest in the Hypertruck ERX from fleets like Agility who are looking for electric solutions that can be seamlessly
integrated.”
Combined with a fully electric drivetrain and a natural
gas-powered onboard generator to recharge the battery, the Hypertruck ERX will provide more than 1,000 miles of range. The
powertrain also produces electricity locally at roughly 30 percent less than the average grid cost, which yields a seven-year
cost-of-ownership unmatched by any diesel, battery-electric (BEV) or hydrogen fuel-cell (FCEV) Class 8 truck under
development.
“The Hyliion technology is so game-changing that all companies,
especially those with consumer-facing brands, will be forced to adapt,” said Tarek Sultan, vice chairman and CEO of Agility.
“It’s a triple win: Protect the environment, keep customers happy and benefit shareholders by improving the bottom
line. We look forward to bringing significant cost savings and greater efficiency to our customers.”
With more than 700 public stations across the U.S., the Hypertruck
ERX leverages a robust natural gas refueling infrastructure. The truck is the only electric Class 8 vehicle that can achieve a
net-negative greenhouse gas emissions footprint using renewable natural gas (RNG). It will achieve 25 miles of pure electric vehicle
range in compliance with cities adopting “Zero Emission Zones.” The vehicle’s low carbon footprint is further
enhanced by the system’s machine learning algorithm, which optimizes energy efficiency, emissions, performance and predictive
maintenance schedules.
Continuing Hyliion’s long-standing partner relationship with
Dana Incorporated (NYSE: DAN), the Hypertruck ERX will feature Dana’s electric motor, inverter and axle technologies, and
Dana plans to provide its state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities to support Hyliion in achieving full volume production of
its powertrain systems. Initial Hypertruck ERX fleet demonstration vehicles have already been allocated to customers for delivery
in 2021, with volume shipments scheduled in 2022. For more information on the Hypertruck ERX, click here.
