What Makes The Chevy Silverado A Hybrid Truck?

  • The built-in generator provides 120-volt alternating current (AC) via four household-style accessory power outlets — two in the cab and two in the cargo box
  • Total collective available power of 2,400 watts offers the capability of running power tools and household items, such as a refrigerator, or functioning as a generator in a remote area
  • Its 14,000-watt electric motor works closely with the Vortec 5.3L V8 engine to boost city fuel economy by 2 MPG without a loss in power, compared to a conventional Silverado Classic with the same engine.(1) That’s gas mileage that comparable Triton and HEMI gas engines can’t touch(2)
  • An electric motor replaces the conventional starter and alternator components, resulting in a nearly invisible integration of the electric motor into the gasoline powertrain
  • Silverado Classic Hybrid features an engine start/stop system that automatically shuts the engine off to save fuel when braking at speeds below 13 mph — or when the vehicle is not moving. When the brake pedal is released, the accelerator is pressed or the Tow/Haul mode button is pressed, the engine automatically restarts
  • Silverado Classic Hybrid’s regenerative braking takes some of the inertial energy from the moving vehicle and turns it back into electrical energy, which is stored in the Energy Storage Module.

 What a great value for the money.

 Gasoline prices are at three dollars a gallon and rising, the savings from this hybrid truck would add up quickly. With potential tax incentives of around $250, the strong resale value of hybrid trucks, and gas prices continuing to rise, the payback ratio begins to really pay off.

Let’s not forget the built in power generators that will run household items and power tools, making this Hybrid Truck more versitile than others.

The Chevy Silverado Hybrid appeals to a wider group of people - from campers to contractors.
