Johnson Controls Invests in Odyne Systems

Odyne Systems said Johnson Controls Inc. has made an undisclosed investment in the Waukesha, Wis., maker of modular hybrid power systems for heavy- and medium-duty trucks.

Johnson Controls, Milwaukee, Wis., has earmarked the investment for Odyne’s hybrid system for trucks, the companies said.

According to Odyne, truckers can obtain fuel-economy improvements of up to 50% or more by using its hybrid system on the road and the system’s battery at a job site.
