E-One has worked with Eaton and International in developing a parallel hybrid Command Center for the Fire/Rescue/Homeland Security market. Primary benefit: 25 kW electronic generator producing AC power, that runs off of the hybrid batteries. Virtually silent operation of vehcile at a scene. Fully functional Command Center with engine off operation for 60% to 70% of the time. When batteries get low, diesel engine will run for about 5 to 6 minutes to recharge batteries and then back to silent operation. The future is here.
