    Saw a massive Coca-Cola truck (tractor-trailer, 18 wheeler) parked this morning. Big sign on side reads 'this hybrid electric truck reduces emissions in our city'.

    Saw a flat black 'hybrid' box just behind its cab with 'Eaton' (Corp.) on the box. Cab only had letters 'KM' or 'FM' in front.

    Seen any other hybrid electric big rigs around?

    I haven't noticed any on the road, but I know Kenworth makes them.

    I see the Coca-Cola truck on a very regular basis.

    My favorite delivery trucks are the Frito-lays Smith Electric Trucks. I see them everyday here in Fort Worth, making deliveries to the local grocery stores.
