    Are these trucks made by Toyota with their hybred technology or someone else? Are other companies also getting interested in purchasing these type of trucks? It sounds like a wonderful product since there are so many trucks that use so much gas and pollute, the hybred trucks would really make a beneficial impact.

    It seems to be a normal FedEx delivery van with Eaton components. It puts an electric motor between the engine and transmission with a clutch between the engine and motor. With this arrangement the van should be able to run under electric motor alone.
