Many commercial trucks include a “power take-off” (PTO) that uses the truck’s diesel engine to drive jobsite hydraulic tools, like pumps and compressors. But engine-driven PTOs increase the truck’s fuel use, emissions, maintenance needs and noise output.

Custom Truck One Source (Custom Truck) developed a solution to these issues. Their “Lightning PTO” is powered by electricity, not the truck engine. To make sure their Lightning PTO delivered all the performance and runtimes work crews expect, Custom Truck needed to partner with an experienced commercial battery expert. That partner was Vanguard.
