<p>40%+ fuel savings, up to 70% reduction in emissions, and 300 miles of full-assist range.Just hitch up and go. The Range trailer system is compatible with any and all tow vehicles, using<br />standard interfaces.Range trailers can double the range of ZEV tractors, and provide fuel-saving benefits even when plug-in charging is limited.</p>
