XL Hybrids and Knapheide Partner on Hybrid Electric Powertrain
XL Hybrids, developer of hybrid electric powertrains for commercial vans and trucks, and Knapheide Manufacturing Company, one of the leading commercial vehicle equipment providers in North America, have announced that Knapheide has completed more than 100 installations of XL Hybrids’ XL3 powertrain on fleet vehicles.
XL Hybrids’ technology, which reduces fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions by 20 percent on urban and suburban routes, has been deployed in the field with some of the largest fleets in North America, including Coca-Cola and FedEx.
Designed for seamless integration in four to six hours with the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) powertrain, XL Hybrids’ technology is delivered by Knapheide via the OEM ship-through process, providing a one-stop purchase, upfit, delivery, and invoice experience for commercial fleets. In addition to new MY2014 vehicle upfits, Knapheide installation facilities have also completed hybrid electric retrofits of MY2012 and MY2013 vans.
