RydeGreen…with Hybrid Technology
One of the vehicles offered in the RydeGreen program is the Durastar™ Hybrid from International, the first line-produced hybrid
commercial truck in North America. Designed for medium-duty, in-city use, the Durastar Hybrid delivers increased fuel efficiency
and reduced emissions, thanks to its innovative diesel-electric hybrid engine technology. The Durastar Hybrid is ideally suited
to a wide range of uses. Examples include beverage distribution, refrigerated food distribution, package pick-up and delivery,
local and regional government transportation functions, and utility boom work.

Save fuel…with innovative technology
The Durastar Hybrid can deliver dramatic fuel savings compared with traditional diesel engines:
- Up to 30% to 40% on standard in-city pickup and delivery applications
- Up to 60% on idling/utility applications (such as overhead boom operations), when the engine is shut down and the battery
provides the power
- The electric motor saves you in other ways – with regenerative braking that enhances stopping power and reduces brake wear.

Reduce Emissions…with cleaner fuels
The Durastar Hybrid is approved for use with bio-diesel, a cleaner-burning fuel blend made from renewable resources, and it’s
designed to exceed the stringent new EPA emissions regulations. It’s one of the cleanest trucks around.
- 65% reduction in hydrocarbon emissions
- 58% reduction in carbon monoxide
- 41% reduction in nitrogen oxide
- Reduce noise pollution too – with optional Electronic Power Take Off
