11. The Technology
Average expected life of the vehicles is seven (7) years
Uses an advanced hydro-mechanical series drive system; designed to significantly reduce fuel consumption & increase productivity
Brake to energy recovery technology
Hydro-mechanical series drive system uses hydraulic pressure to get from house-to-house
Once vehicle exceeds 40mph, it will automatically begin using diesel fuel while the hydraulic tanks regenerate.

12. AUTOMATED HYBRID HYDRAULIC REFUSE VEHICLE PROJECT
Total Project Cost: $5,250,000
Voluntary Cost Share: $3,750,000
Description: Fifteen (15) 2002 Peterbilt Packers with an approximate tare weight of 35,000lbs were replaced with fifteen (15) new Automated Hydraulic Hybrid Refuse Vehicles.
Trucks will utilize hybrid technology to achieve a 45% reduction in fuel consumption & emissions of PM; Nox; HC and CO2

13. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
One of the largest government owned & operated waste collection & disposal system in the SE USA
Recycle services to over 320,000 households in unincorporated MDC & nine (9) municipalities
Helps to alleviate environmental impact on the degrading air quality
Targets routes serving neighborhoods with children at risk, elderly residents, others affected by respiratory illnesses, areas with poor air quality.

14. COMPARISON DATA
