The van is a joint venture...
The van is a joint venture between the blue oval and component firms Ricardo and Valeo. A prototype at this stage, it"s being evaluated by potential customers over the next 12 months.
If it reaches production, HyTrans would cost more than a conventional oil-burner. However, the set-up will more than pay for itself within a normal three to four-year service life, thanks to its lower fuel consumption.
After a warm-up period, the engine cuts out when the van comes to a halt, before restarting again as soon as first gear is selected.
