Ford, Odyne introduce monster F-750 plug-in hybrid work truck

Ford, Odyne introduce monster F-750 plug-in hybrid work truck

Odyne Systems is known for making big honking hybrid vehicles, things like the Dueco work truck we first saw in 2008. At the 2012 Work Truck Show in Indianapolis this week, Ford is showcasing the biggest plug-in hybrid vehicle with a J1772 connector that we know of: a PHEV F-750. Yes, that's a big one. Odyne adds its plug-in architecture to work vehicles after the fact. The liquid-cooled 346V lithium-ion battery from Johnson Controls that's used in the system isn't that outrageous – only 14.2 kWh – but a converted truck can get two packs installed for extra energy at the work site.
