The XL3 hybrid-electric system which is being used on the vans saves fuel through regenerative braking, a process by which the XL3 electric motor helps slow the vehicle when the driver brakes, charging the battery. When the Verizon driver accelerates, the battery releases the energy to the electric motor, helping propel the vehicle.

We invested a lot over the last decades to improve these technologies in terms of efficiency in terms of exhaust properties, and there will be a next step in terms of the Euro 7 regulation. For commercial vehicles, we have options such as hydrogen, but that also depends on the infrastructure. However, there is no decision yet.

View of the CNG tank in the bed of a Silverado 2500HD with bi-fuel option. As with any alternative fuel, be it CNG, LPG, electricity, hydrogen or E85, one of the challenges facing its adoption is both the availability of the fuel as well as the mechanics of refueling. The exhaust ports are also designed for greater flow.
