# Viatec’s ePTO Systems Spotlighted by Terex as a Way To Eliminate Range Anxiety
**Sue-Ellen Lamb** · January 3, 2024
We were recently featured in an [industry article](https://www.terex.com/utilities/en/utility-pros/tips-to-follow-when-converting-your-fleet-to-electric) on best practices for converting utility fleets to electric vehicles (EVs). Published on Terex’s Utility Pros blog, the piece provides guidance to utilities seeking to meet aggressive sustainability targets over the next decade.
We are highlighted for our innovative electric power take-off (ePTO) systems that eliminates idling by providing clean, electric power for upfits utilizing hydraulics for work on medium and heavy-duty chassis. Specifically, the article recommends the HyPower SmartPTO system we released with partner Terex Utilities.
As quoted by Terex’s Director of Marketing, Joe Caywood: “We developed a solution that provides the maximum chassis range while powering the aerial separately. The [HyPower SmartPTO by Viatec](https://www.terex.com/utilities/en/product/hybrid-technology/terex-hypower-smartpto) offers 28 kWh to operate the boom for a full workday without drawing power from the chassis batteries.”
By allowing vehicles to switch to electric power for equipment operation, our custom SmartPTO units help transform fleet sustainability, without compromising performance. Caywood notes that there is no loss of driving range, and trucks can fulfill all hydraulic functions emission-free thanks to the self-contained ePTO system.
At Viatec, we are proud to innovate alongside partners like [Terex](https://www.terex.com/utilities/en), [James A Kiley](https://www.jakiley.com/), and [Versalift](https://versalift.com/) to make commercial EV adoption easier. As leaders in sustainable fleet electrification, we look forward to supporting many more fleets with clean, electric power.
