LONDON, April 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Hybrid commercial vehicles are quickly gaining popularity among fleet customers thanks to their increased fuel efficiency, reduced emissions and, most importantly, availability of federal grants and subsidies. The development of mega cities and satellite towns has been a key factor in the adoption of hybrid vehicles. The congested driving conditions caused by urbanization provide fertile ground for hybrid vehicles. Application areas for hybrid commercial vehicles include utility trucks, refuse trucks, delivery trucks, short haul trucks in agriculture, mining and port fleets and transit buses.
