AZD has developed the Balance™ Hybrid Electric drive system for Ford's E450 Cutaway and Strip Chassis trucks. The Balance™ hybrid electric drive system manages the conventional 5.4 litre Triton gasoline engine and the 5-speed automatic TorqShift transmission to produce a cleaner, more fuel efficient vehicle for your business needs. The hybrid features electric-launch assist, engine-off at idle and regenerative braking which combine to improve fuel economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

To find out about state and city specific incentives in the US, please contact your local DOT office or visit the U.S. Department of Energy website. In Canada, AZD's Balance™ Hybrid Electric qualifies for the Ontario Green Commercial Vehicle Program.
