Vision Industries' Zero Emission tyrano Truck To Be Tested By FedEx

Here is a press release announcing FedEx's plans to test a fleet of plug-in hybrid electric fuel cell trucks. Too bad they decided to use hydrogen fuel cells as the concept will never get off the ground. Hydrogen fuel cell technology is a dead end even if no one will publicly admit it.

Companies like UPS, FedEx and the USPS are ideal candidates for alternate energy vehicles considering the astronomical number of miles each drives every year. Also, their large fleet's provide the perfect environment for testing and data collection of new technologies.

PRESS RELEASE:

FedEx Freight Corp., a leading provider of regional and long-haul less-than-truckload (LTL) services in the U.S., and Vision Industries Corp. (OTCBB: VIIC), producers of the zero emission plug-in electric/hydrogen fuel cell hybrid Tyrano™ truck, today announced that the companies have entered into an agreement to test a tractor powered by the hydrogen/electric hybrid Tyrano™ drive train. FedEx Freight Corp. is a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX).

As part of the agreement, Vision Industries Corp. 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.”
