Due to the global attention to environmental issues, the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show will also focus on new energy and innovative technologies. Eaton also demonstrated a market-recognized hybrid product. Eaton is also the only manufacturer in the world that has both an electric oil hybrid system and a hydraulic hybrid system technology. One of Eaton’s most influential green technologies, the hybrid power system, can effectively save more than 30% of fuel consumption and reduce harmful gas and particulate emissions by more than 30%.

As the hybrid system meets emission regulations, while reducing fuel consumption and improving driving performance, it is very popular in the light and medium truck and bus markets that require frequent stops. At the same time, companies that use generators to obtain auxiliary power when vehicles stop, such as telecom companies, utilities, and municipalities, can also benefit. To make the hybrid system practical, Eaton also integrated existing production components into hybrid powertrains. These mature products include automatic transmissions, automatic clutches, and electronic control modules.
