FedEx’s green Vision

FedEx Freight and Vision Industries, producers of the zero emission plug-in electric/hydrogen fuel cell hybrid Tyrano truck, have entered into an agreement to test a tractor powered by the hydrogen/electric hybrid Tyrano drive train. As part of the agreement, Vision Industries will configure a FedEx Freight tractor with its hydrogen/electric hybrid Tyrano drive train. The reconfigured vehicle will then be tested for one year in certain operations to evaluate the operational suitability of the Vision Tyrano technology.

“It is our goal to be involved in projects such as this to further the advancement of alternative fuels that both reduce our dependence on foreign oil and are good for the environment,” said Douglas G. Duncan, president and CEO, FedEx Freight.  “We are excited about technological advancements we see today in transportation and look forward to what the future holds in this arena.”

Martin Schuermann, president & CEO of Vision, stated: “We applaud the FedEx vision of an environmentally friendly heavy-duty truck fleet.  We believe that our zero emission Tyrano-powered vehicle will help FedEx Freight work toward its goal of reducing its carbon footprint.”
