Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) unveiled its new Canter Eco-D hybrid light-duty dump truck. The new Canter Eco-D, with distinctive and sophisticated styling, delivers extremely low emissions and quiet performance while incorporating a host of advanced features. The new Canter Eco-D is a view to future possible applications of hybrid systems and other advanced technology in commercial vehicles. The Canter Eco-D, with a 3350 mm wheelbase, is capable of carrying a 3000 kg dump body. With its hybrid drive and emissions control system, the truck is designed to achieve significant reductions of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) over conventional diesel-only-powered vehicles.
The central components of the Canter Eco-D’s hybrid system are a 3-liter DOHC diesel engine (92kW); an ultra-slim electric motor/generator (35 kW); a high performance Lithium(Li)-ion battery; and the INOMAT-II automated mechanical transmission. The hybrid system switches its operational mode according to the driving situation. The electric motor is used to drive the vehicle when starting off. During hard acceleration, both the diesel engine and electric motor/generator power the vehicle. When cruising, the vehicle is driven by the diesel engine only, like a conventional vehicle. When slowing down or braking, the electric motor/generator functions as a generator to brake the vehicle. The generator converts brake energy into electric energy and stores it in a Lithium(Li)-ion battery for the next moving off or acceleration.
