Getting pumped: Lightning Hybrids’ hydraulic solution

Commercial vehicle (CV) fleets across the world have adopted various innovative technologies in order to improve efficiency and reduce emissions.

A small company in Loveland, Colorado, is looking to overcome these boundaries by hybridising powertrains without the use of traditionally expensive and heavy components such as batteries and electric motors.
