Originally Published in Trailer Life Magazine

According to J.D. Power and Associates “Automotive Forecasting Services Hybrid-Electric
Vehicle Outlook,” sales of hybrid-electric vehicles in the United Sates between 2005 and
2012 are expected to grow by 268 percent. Hybrid vehicle sales are anticipated to rise from
about 212,000 vehicles in 2005 to 780,000 by 2012. J.D. Power announced that while there
