NEW HYBRID POTHOLE PATCHER
PB Loader introduces the first Hybrid Pothole Patcher developed in
conjunction with International Truck & Engine and Eaton Hybrid Power
Systems. The PB Hybrid Patcher features an electric hybrid generator and
battery system that improves fuel economy and reduces harmful emissions.
Conventional pothole patchers are left idling at job sites to operate
the patching equipment. With the PB Hybrid Patcher, the engine shuts off
at the job site and the patching equipment runs off the hybrid battery.
Fuel consumption can be reduced 30% to 60% with less engine idle time
and improved fuel economy.
