convert standard heavy vehicles into hybrid vehicles
As companies increasingly subscribe to the principles of sustainable development, expenses relating to fleets of vehicles—and to fuel—are becoming more and more of a concern. This is where the innovation developed by Effenco, a Montréal SME, comes in: through its patented HEAD system, it can convert any new or used truck into a hybrid vehicle. The benefits are immediate! Fuel consumption is reduced by 15 to 25% per vehicle, and brake life is multiplied by three—not to mention that 19 less tons of greenhouse gases are produced per year. All in all, this can represent annual savings of up to $10,000 per vehicle. The HEAD system consists of a hydraulic module that reclaims and reuses energy produced when the truck’s brakes are applied. Companies like Gaudreau Environment and Cascades Recovery, along with the City of Sherbrooke, have already adopted Effenco’s technology.
