Frost & Sullivan: EU and NA Hybrid Buses, Vans and Trucks Market - Market Pull Dictating Growth Trajectory

Frost & Sullivan to Host Analyst Briefing on Passenger Screening on Wednesday, 28 April, 2010 at 4:00pm BST

LONDON, April 19, 2010 - Hybrid commercial vehicles are quickly gaining popularity among fleet
customers thanks to their increased fuel efficiency, reduced emissions and,
most importantly, availability of federal grants and subsidies. The
development of mega cities and satellite towns has been a key factor in the
adoption of hybrid vehicles. The congested driving conditions caused by
urbanization provide fertile ground for hybrid vehicles. Application areas
for hybrid commercial vehicles include utility trucks, refuse trucks,
delivery trucks, short haul trucks in agriculture, mining and port fleets and
transit buses.
