Hyliion has announced the availability of its trial fleet of the new Class 8 hybrid electric tractor, the 6x4HE. The trial fleet is outfitted with the 6x4HE, and available for potential customers to test in their own operations for up to a week at no charge.

“We are excited to offer our customers the chance to test a Hyliion enabled vehicle in their own day-to-day business operations. It is a big decision to adopt a new technology and the opportunity to take the truck for a trial run makes all the difference,” said Thomas Healy, Hyliion’s chief executive officer and founder.

Trucks are available starting March 12th; visit the Hyliion website for more information.
