Remy announces hybrid success with MAN

Remy International, Inc. has announced the completion of a project with Benteler Engineering to develop a progressive concept Heavy Duty hybrid truck for MAN Truck & Bus. 


The vehicle, called the Metropolis, will use Remy's HVH410 electric traction motor and generator, a customisable assembly that has a high efficiency and the most power density available. The Metropolis is capable of performing Heavy Duty transport tasks, such as refuse collection, without emissions and almost completely without noise.  A lithium-ion battery drives the HVH410 electric motor, with additional power and range extension supplied by an efficient diesel engine and HVH410 generator.

Remy says its HVH410 motors are the perfect fit in this application as they deliver tremendous power and torque, which is required with Heavy Duty trucks.  They are also quiet, which is especially important in urban environments.  Partnering with Benteler Engineering has provided a great opportunity for Remy to show how its electric motors can help meet the growing worldwide demand for sustainable urban vehicles.

Many other hybrid developers and manufacturers are also choosing Remy electric motors. Remy believes that this is a powerful endorsement of its products and its commitment to the global hybrid market.
