Wink $12,000 Tax Credit!

http://www.etrucker.com/apps/news/article.asp?id=66850

Quote:
Peterbilt’s medium duty hybrid vehicles purchased in the United States are eligible to receive a tax credit of up to $12,000 from the federal government. The Department of Treasury’s heavy manufacturing and transportation group certified the Peterbilt Model 335 Class 7 and Model 330 Class 6 Hybrid Electric vehicles as eligible for these credits.

The maximum $12,000 credit for Class 7 hybrids is available for the Model 335 Hybrid Electric in both utility-boom and pickup and delivery applications when equipped with a PACCAR PX-6 engine and an Eaton hybrid system.

A $6,000 credit, the maximum for Class 6 hybrids, is available for the Model 330 Class 6 Hybrid Electric in utility-boom and pickup-and-delivery applications when equipped with a PACCAR PX-6 engine and an Eaton hybrid system.

For any technology to succeed it must scale from the smallest to the largest. Peterbilt has covered an important aspect, heavy equipment. Good for them!

Your article says that the 335 hybrid uses lithium batteries. Can this be confirmed? Must be a big 'un.
