Oncor Turns to Hybrid-Powered Bucket Trucks
Oncor goes green as they turn to hybrid powered trucks to help out their business. Oncor was one of 14 utilities included in the hybrid trial, the results of which were very positive. The trial proved that the hybrid-powered bucket trucks, which alternate between diesel fuel and battery power to operate, get up to 60 percent in fuel savings, of which one-third comes from driving with the rest of the savings occurring at the job site as the hybrid system works the bucket or aerial device of the truck.
The fuel savings Oncor receives from these hybrids help save the environment by using less fuel, a non-renewable resource.
On Friday, May 1, the trucks will hit the field, with one heading to work in Waco and the other to Fort Worth. Both are wrapped in Texas flag-inspired artwork, with “Hybrid Truck” and “Small Changes. Better Texas.” marked on both sides of each truck.
