Autocar trucks come with a long list of features that ensure better fuel economy, more uptime, lower maintenance costs and higher long-term value. With the strongest cab in the industry and the best overall strength-to-weight ratio, Autocar continues to be the hardest working LCF truck on the market today. An Autocar truck paired with a Cummins natural gas engine is the right combination for the environment.
The E3 from Autocar® is something new for the industry and the environment. An innovative, hybrid-powered refuse truck, the E3 stores energy from braking to supplement the power of the diesel engine, which provides dramatic fuel savings and significantly reduces emissions. The E3 has the potential become a new driving force for the refuse business - it's greener, cleaner, more efficient, more economical, and more reliable than just about any other truck on the road today.
Designed for high-start and -stop applications, the E3 incorporates RunWise™ technology by Parker Hannifin®, the world's leading manufacturer of diversified motion and control systems. Autocar and Parker jointly developed the E3.
Environmental
By using up to 50% less fuel, the Autocar E3 will also significantly reduce emissions. The Autocar E3 is a cleaner, greener refuse truck solution.
Economical
The Autocar E3 will use less fuel, reduce brake wear, and give you a faster ROI. It is good for the environment, and it is good for your business.
Efficient
The Autocar E3 produces more torque at the wheels which will give you improved initial propulsion (startability). In normal braking conditions, the E3 will not use the mechanical brakes until the unit slows to 3 MPH. |
heavy duty trucks. We offer: 
The Freightliner Business Class M2 e Hybrid reduces fuel consumption compared to non-hybrid drive systems. Testing shows a savings of up to 1,500 gallons of fuel per year for a typical urban delivery vehicle—nearly $5,000 back to the bottom line. 
The Sterling LT8500 Tractor paired up with Cummins Westport ISL-G dedicated Natural Gas Engine, is the cleanest heavy-duty truck available on the market today.
HYBRID: Freightliner Custom Chassis offers a seamless combination of conventional diesel and electric propulsion systems that provide the extended range and refueling characteristics of a typical diesel engine plus the fuel efficiency and lower emissions of an electric motor. Lithium-ion batteries constantly recharging through the operation of the diesel engine by regenerative braking, no need to plug into an electrical source at the end of the day. Tested, proven technology, driven by you.
