If you are one of the many people in the utilities industry looking for ways to improve fuel economy, reduce emissions, or increase productivity, the Terex® HyPower™ hybrid system may be for you!
This system is not your ordinary hybrid system. It was specifically designed for the utility industry. It features a robust and retrofittable system that allows utility trucks to become state-of-the-art plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. It’s designed for utility workers to do their jobs and operate the outriggers, boom, lights, and flashers without having to start the truck’s engine. It also has an option for operators to run cab heat, air conditioning, and exportable power, all through the Terex® HyPower™ hybrid system.
This video covers many of the features mentioned above, but also additional benefits including fuel savings, elimination of noise pollution, emission reduction, ease of charging, how to monitor the system, and more.
Have fun watching the video and let us know what you think! For more information on this system, please e-mail us at utilities.info@terex.com
In today’s economic climate, more businesses are finding solutions that will help reduce costs. The Terex® HyPower™ hybrid retrofit kit is one solution that can help you reduce operational costs, but also extend the service life of your current fleet and increases productivity while being environmentally friendly. The retrofit kit includes our latest generation HyPower™ hybrid system, which is designed to be flexible and adaptable. The system is even designed to anticipate the advances in battery/hybrid technology. Simply by installing the modular components included in the kit on most any vehicle chassis type, your truck will begin providing the savings and benefits associated with the Terex® HyPower™ hybrid system. Major system components of the kit include:
• Battery packs on each side of the vehicle chassis frame
• Standard Power Take-Off (PTO)
• Standard hydraulic pump
• A combination motor/generator unit
• A hybrid system controller
• An all-electronic chassis cabin HVAC system
• Inverter for exportable power
After installation, you will be able to utilize stored energy from the system’s rechargeable batteries. This will then provide clean power for boom operation, cabin heating, air conditioning, and worksite lighting—virtually eliminating the need for chassis engine idling during those operations. The most immediate benefits of the HyPower™ hybrid systems are:
• Dramatically reduced levels of fuel consumption, carbon dioxide exhaust emissions, and worksite noise – helps the environment and jobsite community
• Extended chassis life – helps keep your fleet in service longer
• Less maintenance – reduce repair costs associated to constant engine use and idling
• Extended work time of vehicle – increased productivity by spending less time refueling your truck
The illustration below depicts one of the many ways we can retrofit most any truck. It also shows where the components are installed on this particular truck.

The Terex® HyPower™ Team was in beautiful Boise in the first week of February for a great event with the Treasure Valley Clean Cities Coalition. We were lucky enough to have perfect weather for a large group of coalition members, environmentalists and customers.
Award Winning Design. Continuous Improvement.
As usual our NTEA Green Truck Award winning HyPower worked flawlessly. We spent most of our time talking about the improvements that are constantly being made to our system. We will have more information on all those advances later.
A special thanks to Beth Baird with the TVCC for the hard work that she put into preparation for us.
Who has a complete line of Hybrid Utilities trucks? Who has an easily retrofit-able product? Who allows you to choose your chassis, transmission and power source? There is only one answer. Terex.
What is HTUF? HTUF is the Hybrid Truck Users Forum, a user-driven program operated by CALSTART.
Why should we care? The Forum exists to speed the commercialization of medium- and heavy-duty hybrid and high-efficiency technologies.
The Terex® HyPower™ team played a key part at the 10th annual HTUF National Conference held in Dearborn, MI this year. The event saw record attendance with hundreds of vendors, fleet professionals and technologists in attendance. We brought two of our crowd favorite Terex® HyPower™ Plug In Electric Hybrids for Electric Utilities.
Our Hypower Hybrids lifted more than 30 journalists, customers and spectators high into the Michigan sky without starting the engines of our trucks. The constant feedback we received from the crowd was that our system was Practical, Effective and most important Cost Effective.
The Terex Team was recognized as the thought leader for our work site based Hybrid. We had the opportunity to provide information on our system to all the attendees in two separate forums. Nick Camissa and Dan Brendan did a fantastic job in these presentations.
Thanks to CALSTART and the HTUF for hosting such a great event. http://bit.ly/c2YP5c
The Terex® HyPower™ team was lucky enough to attend the Canadian Utilities Equipment & Engineering Show (CUEE) show in Toronto. CUEE is Canada’s largest marketplace for products and services related to the utility sector.
Terex HyPower LT 38 Bucket Truck with Tailshelf battery compartment on a Dodge 4x4 Chassis
The Team brought a pair of our Terex HyPower PHEV’s for demonstration and display to the event. The systems where a big hit with all of the users (look for more HyPower video on You Tube soon).
The HyPower systems best in class hybrid operating time, near silent operation and original tailshelf mounted battery compartment were specifically noted. Users appreciated the careful design of the system which focuses on maximum working time and minimum interference with the working spaces of the crew.
Thanks to the fantastic crew who worked this show especially Chris Cruickshank, Robert Badin, Rick Von Bommel and Jacques Cloutier with Wajax Industries. We appreciate you.
The Telecom and Utility Fleet supplement for Lift and Access magazine features Terex Utilities products on the cover. It also has a special section on Hybrid Service Trucks for Telecoms and Utilities. They have great information about the range of Hybrid Bucket Trucks and Hybrid Digger Derricks available today. The Terex HyPower PHEV System is highlighted and detailed in the article.
Have a look for yourself at the e-magazine. The article beginning on page 10 features a picture of three different Terex HyPower Systems!
“HANDS ON” the Terex® HyPower™

Terex Utilities has completed another successful “Hand’s On” event in Watertown, SD. This event, held at our overhead training facility, has run for 32 years and is considered by many people in our industry to be the best manufacturer-based training course for both experienced customers and new team members around.
This year there were 2 Terex® HyPower™ PHEV systems at the event. The HyPower™ TL41 material handling Bucket Truck and the HyPower™Digger Derrick both logged hours of operation without polluting the South Dakota sky. These units show our commitment to expanding the retrofit-able HyPower system to more of our product lines.
The Terex® HyPower™ Team has put together a video showing the difference between a traditional Utilities vehicle and our HyPower™. Our system uses a state of the art power management system to draw stored energy from the HyPower’s batteries allowing us to operate almost silently while on the job site.
Traditional units work using the diesel engine of the vehicle to power job site operations. This means that the engine runs at ‘high idle’ burning upt to 1,200 gallons of fuel yearly, emitting pollutants and making a great deal of noise.
The HyPower System saves the fuel, increases efficiency of the crews and virtually eliminates the noise. Don’t take our word for it, watch the video.
