AFS Trinity’s Extreme Hybrid (XH) Aimed for Fleets

by Hilary on May 6th, 2008

afs-trinity.jpgAFS Trinity Power’s PHEV technology brings gas-electric hybrids up to 150 mpg, allowing them to go 40 miles in EV mode while still relying on gas for those extra-long trips on which critics tend to focus.

Working models called “XH-150 SUVs” - modified Saturn Vue hybrids - debuted at the Detroit Auto Show in January. A few days ago, AFS (along with Ricardo plc) introduced a model for corporations - Extreme Fleet. Developers say it could save businesses 75% on fuel expenses.

The program appears to be targeting government fleets - police departments, federal groups, and some private operations.

It’s unclear at this point whether their moniker will be shortened to XF.
