EchoDrive™Hybrid Kit for Fleets Wins Work Truck Show Green Award
Echo Automotive, Inc. (Scottsdale, AZ), has won The Work Truck Show(R) 2014 Green Award for its EchoDrive bolt-on hybrid electric kit for fleet vehicles.
EchoDrive is a plug-in system that includes an advanced battery, electric motor, inverter and charger.
The components work together to provide torque assistance and recover braking energy. While other hybrid systems replace or alter the OEM powertrain, EchoDrive bolts directly to the vehicle. Its non-invasive, cost-effective design saves fuel without affecting the original OEM warranty.
Steve Carey, executive director of NTEA – The Association for the Work TruckIndustry, presented the award to Amy Dobrikova, Echo Automotive VP sales and business development, last week during The Work Truck Show 2014 at the Indiana Convention Center.
The Green Award is given annually to the product at The Work Truck Show that a panel of trade media and fleet manager judges determine best enhances vocational truck fuel utilization.
This is also the second year in a row that EchoDrive was honored at The Work Truck Show: the product won the Editor’s Choice Award for new product innovation at the 2013 event.
