Together, we can go green by reducing fuel consumption on your stop-and-go vehicle by up to 50%.

Besides saving fuel, Parker’s latest hydraulic hybrid solutions also help lower emissions, extend brake life, improve vehicle acceleration, and improve overall vehicle performance. Parker is in the process of commercializing RunWise®, an advanced series hydraulic hybrid designed specifically for class 8 refuse chassis’. In customer field trials, RunWise has demonstrated the ability to save significantly more fuel than any other currently available hybrid technology, while at the same time providing enhanced productivity and driver satisfaction. In addition, systems have been successfully prototyped and are undergoing vehicle testing and validation for applications including delivery, bus, utility and terminal tractors.

Using advanced engine management, full brake energy recovery and when appropriate engine-off strategies, Parker aims to provide your fleet with the highest possible payback and performance. Learn more at parkerhybrid.parker.com.
