“We are pleased with the initial results of the CNG-powered RunWise refuse trucks,” said Parker Hannifin hybrid drive systems division general manager, Shane Terblanche.

“Test data shows the RunWise system is delivering up to 20% incremental fuel savings over traditional CNG trucks and a 10% improvement in productivity.

“We can anticipate reduced brake wear and routine maintenance requirements will also contribute to the value of these clean energy vehicles.”
