ArvinMeritor, Wal-Mart to make diesel-electric drivetrain

ArvinMeritor and Wal-Mart Transportation announced an agreement Jan. 10 to jointly develop a dual-mode, diesel-electric drivetrain for a Class 8 tractor.

Wal-Mart had announced earlier that in the next 10 years, it intends to double the fuel efficiency of its fleet of heavy-duty trucks.

ArvinMeritor will provide the tandem axle, regenerative braking system, air disc brakes and advanced ABS with integrated stability control and driver assistance systems (from Meritor WABCO Vehicle Control Systems), software, electronic controls, transfer case, motors and the battery power from a third party.

To bad that Wal-mart is not going to use Torvec's IVT. This would have been a great opportunity.
