The energy solutions range from liquefied natural gas power and hybrid power to all-electric and compressed natural gas fuel.

The company is “optimistic” that the all-electric option will be ready for operational testing in 2008. The truck is fully built and assembled into a tandem unit, off-port design.

In addition, quick charge station procedures have been reviewed, and Capacity has high hopes that there will not be any large hurdles in the future.
