As we gain an understanding of hybrid systems in the vehicles around us, it is necessary to note that hybrid vehicles come in all shapes and sizes. Hybrid systems are not just found in passenger vehicles and light duty trucks. Large, industrial vehicles also benefit from the efficiency of hybrid operating systems. Hybrid buses and trucks are being adopted by city and county government agencies and trucking companies, due to their ability to save fuel and reduce emissions and maintenance costs.
