A123 is currently developing systems to address the hybridization of the heavy duty fleets. From class 2 to class 8 vehicles, A123 recognizes the significant fuel and cost advantages that hybridizing heavy duty applications can provide, especially in heavy stop-and-go urban drive cycles. We are currently supplying turnkey systems to leading manufacturers in the heavy duty truck and bus industries.

For instance, A123Systems is supplying BAE Systems with batteries for use in their HybriDrive® Propulsion System, which are currently deployed in the Daimler Orion VII hybrid bus in 2008.
