Heard of Hybrid bulldozers & earth moving equipment....Caterpillar's latest offering D7E is just that.
The D7E's greater fuel economy means lessened greenhouse gas emissions.It meets the EPA's Tier 3 standard regulating nitrogen oxide,hydrocarbons, and particulate matter for nonroad diesel equipment.A hybrid ( However, not really like we know hybrid cars but better than having nothing :-)) dozer will ensure that we save fuel by running the diesel engines in their maximum efficiency range while the electric motors do the job of moving the earth. Also, there is lesser noise for the driver to put up with, which i am sure will make it a hit among the Dozer drivers.
Cool idea ain't it? Btw, just in case you did not know most of our diesel locomotives use the same method to run.
