Hybrid heavy weight - Buyers of Class 6 and 7 hybrid trucks can gain lower emissions, tax credits

摘要

Hybrid vehicles offer better fuel efficiency, minimal main-tenance, reduced emissions and less idling, but there's another major benefit you may be unaware of: tax credits from the U.S. government for buyers of qualified heavy hybrid vehicles - up to USD12,000 per vehicle -or qualified alternative fuel vehicles - up to USD32,000 per vehicle. Working in cooperation with Eaton - the first company to develop and market both hybrid electric and hybrid hydraulic systems for medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles - truck manufacturers International, Freightliner, Peterbilt and Kenworth have developed what the U.S. Department of Treasury's Heavy Manufacturing and Transportation Group deems "heavy hybrids," or those that qualify for an Alternative Motor Vehicle Credit.
