Reduced Costs
Odyne’s system reduces fuel usage both while driving and at the work site. Depending on the application, large trucks obtain fuel economy improvements of up to 50% or greater, compared to traditional diesel/gas engines. This efficiency may result in fuel savings of up to 1750 gallons per year.*
The Odyne system recharges batteries while braking or in the field with the engine. Plug-in charging is preferred, but not mandatory. Odyne’s electricity storage system allows it to operate in engine idle-off, all-electric stationary mode longer and doesn’t require frequent engine restart/run to charge batteries compared to other electrification systems. This reduces fuel consumption and cost. When the system is plugged in for recharging at off-peak rates, the Odyne solution takes advantage of the lower, cleaner, more consistent cost of electricity compared to fuel.
| The Odyne system reduces fleet operating and maintenance costs. The system’s regenerative braking, launch assist and stationary or idle-off modes reduce engine hours and chassis service significantly over the life of a vehicle at a savings of up to $2,000* annually including:
• Engine oil and filter service *Based on International IHC DT engine chassis with Odyne PHEV system in use 250 days a year for 10 years with 2 hours of driving and 4.5 hours of electric mode operation per day using manufacturer’s recommended service procedures and intervals. |
Fewer trips to the pump means greater productivity too.
Bottom line? The Odyne system reduces fuel-related operating and maintenance costs to help fleet managers control budgets.
Note: assumes 25kWhr @ .10 per hour and 7 gallons of diesel fuel @ $5 per gallon.
