Hybrid Technology

At Rowland Emergency, we fully understand the impact that the vehicles have on the environment. We are doing our part to try to lessen this by providing hybrid technology for emergency vehicles. Ultimately, we would like to help Emergency Medical Services reach their long-term community sustainability plan aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting low-carbon transportation.

HOW IT WORKS

Hybrid electric-gasoline propulsion systems leverage two primary technologies:

• Regenerative braking, which uses the inertia of the vehicle to store energy in a battery cell during deceleration
• Acceleration assist, which uses this stored energy to assist propulsion of the vehicle during acceleration events and thereby reduces gasoline consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.
