This is exactly what I wanted all auto manufacturers to do. Instead of full electric which might not be practical for places where gird powers isn't available.....use hybrid instead! Edison is a real one for this and I hope all other manufacturers or upcoming manufacturers follow suit. This is the real answer to lowering emissions besides planting more trees, and is already an existing tech from trains for over 70-80 years. Y'all are awesome

Diesel Electric has been the norm in the rail industry for a LONG time. Diesel Electric trucks make sense for very remote operations. Especially as the truck can act as a mobile power station. The next step after pulling is seeing if you can run this beauty on bio diesel. Get that multi fuel going and you've got a truck that'll out last the apocalypse. God, the more I watch this seeing you walk around the outside of the truck without touching the ground the more this reminds me of a diesel locative. I would love to see one pulling a road train in Australia...

It's the natural evolution of diesel electric, I have thought of it myself in idle musing but asdumed cleverer people than me already tried and dismissed. But you had the guts to try, being able to see a proper trucker take our industry in a sensible direction as opposed to pure battery is refreshing. Last week I had my first brush with non diesel trucking: compressed natural gas. I know it's better for the environment, but my inner 8 year old misses the big diesel v8 blowing through the stack of the Scania R520 I was in before. My only suggestion for this rig is cameras. You've made so many design concessions for driver visibility you've missed a chance at replicating the bumper mirror on euro cabovers.

I'm glad to say you prove that is not the case! For years I've said to my wife "why doesn't someone come up with an electric kit to convert 1980's minivans to hybrid electric, especially those GM made vans with rear wheel drive", put an electric motor in the original drive line, and batteries under the floor. So many useable older vehicles would have a new lease on life instead of going to the scrap yard crusher!

I’ve known about these guys for a long time now, ever since this truck was just a wild idea. This video makes me so happy. This is the way you get the public to embrace electric. It’s been my personal opinion for years, that HYBRID is the way we should go for much of our new vehicles. Full electric just does not work practically for so many applications right now, but hybrid electric would work great. If these guys can prove it will work on logging trucks, in the toughest conditions in the world, it will go a long way to proving that this is the technology that we need to be pushing for, not the electric junk many companies and governments are attempting to force onto the roads. It takes a lot to make a guy who loves old iron, diesel engines, and horsepower to like an electric truck, but these guys did it. I hope they end up producing a bunch of these things, but I also hope the retrofit market grows for them too, cause that’s an awesome idea too, and so practical. Thanks for featuring these guys on this channel, they deserve the attention and this video will go a long way to opening more people’s eyes to what they’re doing.

Ferroequinologist here. Actually; Diesel trains do vary the prime mover speed with an 8 notch throttle depending on speed and load. The control system came from diesel electric submarines although the tech is from the 1890s /1910s. GE made a diesel electric locomotive for WWI. The real difference with modern stuff is the batteries. GE has even made a hybrid battery locomotive. The whole thing has come full circle. So yea why hasn't anyone does this before??? PS: I once specked a Marmon truck with a Duetz air cooled V8, ZF auto tranny, and a Spicer planetary rear end. Never had it built but it would of been sweet:) So I guess I could do a Duetz rather than a Cat?

What sets this innovation apart is that they actually consulted with truckers to understand what they wanted and needed in a truck, which is truly commendable. I must admit, I had expected innovations like this to have already been explored, but this one is truly impressive. I'm genuinely excited to see how it performs under a substantial load.

This has to be one of my favourite videos. I don’t normally comment but I’m so happy for Chase and his accomplishments more firsts still to come. Excited to see Rich be a part of it in some way. 🎉😊 Congratulations to you both.

Great work, like you said I can’t believe no one has done this already, I agree 100 percent! I really hope this common sense approach to today’s issues catch on worldwide. God bless you.
