Volkswagen Caminhoés in Brazil presented a VW Meteor tractor with a hybrid driveline. The truck has a conventional 12,4 liter 540 Hp diesel engine that drives the first drive axle. The second drive axle is powered by an electric, 200 Hp engine. This way the electric engine helps when it is needed, generates electricity on downhill slopes and can be lifted when driving empty. A creative way to build a hybrid truck!
