On display at EUFMC 2025, the I-State model is built on a Western Star 47X chassis with a Detroit DD13 engine and an Allison transmission, and incorporates a Fassi F275A. 2.25 Articulated Knuckle Boom Crane with 47-foot, 9-inch horizontal reach and a lifting capacity of 2,888 pounds that was hydraulically tailored to match the Odyne hybrid system.
International.“ A Fassi knuckleboom coupled with a hybrid electric powered hydraulic system is beneficial,” he said.“ We have found the quietness of a hybrid battery system allows for safer crane operation around the jobsite because the operator, signalperson and other crew members can communicate easier without diesel engine noise.”
Harlow also pointed out that the Fassi knuckleboom crane on the model offered by I-State was hydraulically tailored to match the Odyne hybrid system to achieve the longest battery run time.“ Operators also do not have to sacrifice speed of the crane,” he added,“ which has been maintained compared to a normal transmission PTO( power take-off) system.”
Long Term Success
Leonard Lincoln, director of sales at Odyne Systems, related that the company has been developing electrification systems for commercial trucks since 2009 and has supplied their technology for more than 85 fleets in a variety of vocations.“ Odyne makes the industry’ s only ePTO system approved for Allison 1000 Series, 2000 Series, 3000 Series and 4000 Series transmissions,” he added.“ Our long-term relationship with Allison provides a distinctive advantage, including access to service across their dealer network.”
The value proposition for zero emissions power for hydraulic, air and electric systems is straightforward, according to Lincoln.“ Clean, quiet, emissions-free power significantly improves the efficiency and sustainability of commercial trucks,” he said.“ Fleets can also realize a productivity improvement by extending work hours when noise ordinances would otherwise limit off-hour jobsite activity.”
“ Other savings can come from reduced engine emissions system maintenance by significantly lowering idle times on jobsites,” Lincoln continued.“ Less brake wear is also evident due to regenerative braking, and there’ s been less engine wear overall with Odyne systems, which cuts service needs and boosts resale values. In addition, the system is low maintenance, requiring only just fluid
