On the month in which the entire world is raving about the earth day, one of the major things that is actually going to save the planet and make sure that the path ahead is green. The automobile industry is going to make a world’s difference to the world by going green. There are a variety of hybrid vehicles that are out today which will soon take over the roads and maybe one day lead us towards an all fuel celled roads in the next century.

The GE Hybrid Vehicle team has reached another milestone with a successful demonstration of a hybrid off-highway vehicle modified with a 600hp battery pack that captures braking energy to save fuel and increase productivity. It has already been covered by us in detail and we take another look at the truck which uses very innovative method of storing energy from the braking of the truck.

The OHV of GE allows the vehicle to use the energy that is generated from the every instant the truck breaks and stores it in internal battery. The energy is stored and later used to make sure that the truck is powered by the very same energy. It will be interesting to know that in future more such vehicles could be in store. Though to generate substantial energy from braking might be hard in case of smaller vehicles, it will be interesting to see how this venture of GE goes.
