Joe Caywood,Marketing Manager for Terex Utilities, commented “We appreciate the support from Representative Herseth Sandlin taking time out of her busy schedule to meet with us and her specific interest in the benefits of the HyPower system making a significant impact with reduced fuel consumption and emissions as well as providing quiet boom operation for utility crews”.
South Dakota Lieutenant Governor Dennis Daugaard recently stopped by to meet with Terex in Watertown, South Dakota. The Lt Governor took time to check out the Terex® HyPower™ Hybrid Utilities Service truck.
During his walk around of the vehicle he slipped on a harness and took the aerial device for a birds-eye view of the Terex facility. The PTO hybrid system was installed on a new TL55 aerial device. Dennis commented that the Terex® HyPower™ system is an impressive innovation, and will change the worksite atmosphere for the better by reducing fuel consumption, worksite noise pollution and emissions.

This is the 40th Earth Day and things have changed since 1970. The Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act literally altered the business landscape in the US. These two laws also dramatically improved our quality of life. Rivers no longer catch fire. It’s reasonable to eat fish caught in most of North America. You can sometimes see the mountains from downtown Los Angeles.
I am old enough to remember the arguments against the Laws that brought these changes. The economy was bad. People feared that businesses would be made uncompetitive. This was in 1972. These were real concerns.
Maybe we should look at reduced pollution as an investment. Think about the improvements in air and water quality over the past 40 years . Have we received a good return on our investment?

FARMINGTON HILLS, MI (March 21, 2010) — Terex Utilities (Watertown, SD) won The Work Truck Show® Green Award for its HyPower™ Hybrid system at the Work Truck Show 2010. A panel of trade media editors selected the HyPower Hybrid system as the best new product that advances fuel utilization displayed at the Work Truck Show.
The HyPower Hybrid is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle system that allows utility truck operators to save up to 1.5 gallons of fuel per hour. The system operates the truck’s aerial lift without running the engine to save fuel, reduce emissions and eliminate noise. Terex estimates that the HyPower Hybrid system can reduce diesel fuel usage by up to six gallons every work day. The HyPower system was designed specifically for the utility industry, where vehicles may remain stationary for several hours. It is self-contained, so it can be installed on virtually any chassis, including older trucks. It does not interface with the vehicle engine or transmission, reducing associated wear and tear.
