Aero Star-S

The Aero Star-S is the rebadged UD Trucks Space Runner RA. It has a double-curvature windscreen, rounded roof dome with a separately mounted destination blind.
The Eco Hybrid is now setting new standards in practical trials in Japan. It can reduce fuel consumption by as much as 30 percent. The Mitsubishi Fuso Aero Star Eco Hybrid operates with a series hybrid drive, in which the diesel engine does not drive wheels directly but instead is used solely to drive an electrical generator to recharge lithium-ion batteries, connected to the two electric motor, which propel the vehicle.
Daimler Trucks uses such a system for most of its full-hybrid commercial vehicles, including in the Mitsubishi Fuso Canter Eco Hybrid, while series hybrids are reserved for urban buses, where they work most efficiently.
Range is 300 km.
