Hydraulic hybrids developing,...

This post is not going be too long as I'm mainly going to point you to a couple of websites that have great information on Hydraulic Hybrids.

From our perspective, we got a chance to drive a couple at HTUF when we released the study.  I drove a large refuse truck and a colleague got to drive the UPS Hydraulic Hybrid.  The UPS truck was really interesting as it was so quiet when it went by that it seemed like a passenger vehicle, not a truck.  

See an explanation of the system from the Bosch representative on the video, I took at HTUF.
