Featured Truck Click for larger image BCTrucker.com is proud to feature not only our first P&D/City Delivery Truck, but also the first Hybrid Electric Truck put into service in Western Canada, by R&B Trucking/Clark Freightways in the Victoria, BC market. Once again BC industry is leading the way for environmentally-friendly solutions for today's business. It's a 2008 Freightliner Class 5 truck, using a Hybrid Electric engine about the size of a pickup truck's diesel engine. This will lead to a sizeable drop in overall GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions. It uses electronic retardation to take braking energy and convert it to electricity to run the reefer unit. An added benefit to the public will be reduced noise pollution compared to diesel reefers and conventional Class 5 truck engines. A win-win during those early-morning deliveries to the local markets and stores in the quaint, scenic regions of Vancouver Island. Thanks to Mr. Cunnington of R&B Trucking for authorizing the use of this photo. For more information on environmentally-friendly trucking solutions, visit GreenFleets BC. Previously-featured trucks |
