Vision Industries Tests Fuel Cell Hybrid Truck

Vision Industries Corp. has announced that its prototype zero emission plug-in electric/hydrogen fuel cell Tyrano™ truck has completed the first stage of performance testing at the L.A. Freightliner facilities in Whittier, CA.

Lawrence Weisdorn, COO of Vision, stated, "We were confident that our drive train would work, but to see it actually moving an 84,000lb GVW big rig truck is truly a monumental milestone for Vision Industries. We designed the Tyrano™ to replace short haul diesel trucks operating in the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. We will offer these truckers the best of all worlds: The Tyrano™ will be zero emissions, more powerful and cheaper to operate than current diesel or natural gas trucks and will exempt the truckers from the $70 per container port tariff (http://www.portmod.org/POLICY/Clean%20Truck%20Fee.htm)."
