Rather than initiating the manufacturing of electric trucks from the ground, Hyliion is working on retrofitting the existing trucks with its electric drivetrain. Talking to Yahoo Finance’s YFi PM, the CEO of Hyliion, Thomas Healy told:
“What we’re doing is actually focusing on the drivetrain of the vehicle as opposed to re-inventing the entire vehicle from the ground up. The benefit of this is it’s a lot quicker of a development.”
Last Friday, Tortoise filed an updated preliminary version of its proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Hyliion investors are interested in the deal and intend to lay their investments into the truck maker, which would bring SHLL with an expected $235 million in cash.
