California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger even gave the Tyrano his blessing and FedEx has started testing this same vehicle as well.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Visions Industries has expanded the <a title=\"scope\" href=\"http:\/\/www.visionmotorcorp.com\/capacity_vision_industries_to_build_zero_emissions_terminal_tractor.htm\" >scope<\/a> of its hydrogen truck offerings. Teaming up with Capacity of Texas, Incorporated, Vision Industries is producing the world\u2019s first ZETT (zero emissions terminal tractor).<\/p>\n<p>The ZETT will not be a recreation of the wheel, however, as Vision will not have to build this tractor from the ground up. Instead they will be using the Capacity of Texas PHETT (plug-in hybrid electric terminal tractor \u2013 the world\u2019s first) as the jumping off point.<\/p>\n<p>The Vision ZETT will be able to work two 8-hour shifts before refueling and when it does come time to refuel, this will take only 15 minutes. This is a huge advantage over any battery only terminal trucks.<\/p>\n<p>With tougher U. S. emissions standards for trucks expected to be implemented by the government this year, Visions Industries is at the leading edge of helping specific industries comply with these anticipated standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, so the headline is a mouthful.
