Brown Going Hybrid?

From the scrappy reporters at NY1, word that UPS is in the process of trying a new hybrid delivery truck on the NYC streets. Called a Hydraulic Hybrid, it uses pressurized nitrogen to for power instead of batteries when it isn’t using the gasoline engine.

According to UPS, “When they're mass produced they'll be $7,000 more per vehicle. But the beauty of it is because of the savings on fuel, they pay for themselves in two years,” says Steinberg. “Aand over 20 years, the life of a vehicle such as this, you'd be saving $50,000.”

Too bad it will be at least 2 years before they are on the streets.
