FedEx Freight has announced they are to conduct trials with a zero emission plug-in electric/hydrogen fuel cell hybrid tractor. FedEx will be converting a standard truck from Vision Industries of Florida, to a Tyrano hybrid. FedEx will be evaluating the Tyrano technology over the next year. Vision Industries claim that the Tyrano heavy duty class 8 truck is 35 percent cheaper to operate than current diesel powered trucks and 50 percent cheaper than liquefied natural gas. The Tyrano has a standard range of 200 miles with 536 horsepower. It has a number of environmental bonuses such as zero emission and noise pollution.
