Limited supplies of hydrocarbon-based fuels, increasing demand for personal and commercial mobility intensified by emerging markets, as well as environmental concerns have generated a sustained global push towards fuel efficiency and clean transportation technologies. Hydraulic hybrid vehicles adapt soundly to this changing paradigm by dramatically increasing the fuel efficiency of medium to heavy commercial vehicles through a combination of proven fluid power principals, and common sense operation. Series hydraulic hybrid vehicles (SHHV) rely on the three pronged approach of regenerative braking, powertrain shut-off and efficient engine operation to deliver substantial fuel savings for applications featuring lower speeds and a high degree of stop-and-go operation. A SHHV offers a number of benefits over HEVs including superior fuel economy, lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and a subsequently quicker return on investment (ROI). Additionally, HHVs face less supply chain risk, and are free from any infrastructure pre-requisites. American Hydraulic Power (AHP) is carrying out the final production development of a SHHV system for application in distribution trucks, busses, and refuse collection vehicles. AHP is a private, investor funded enterprise and is not reliant on any government grants or loans for funding of its operations. Intellectual property rights for the SHHV system have been obtained through a co-exclusive license with the US EPA. AHP anticipates a steadily increasing demand for HHVs in the next decade, culminating in a substantially-sized market by 2025, with further potential beyond that.
