Garner, Iowa — Stellar Industries, a 100% employee-owned and -operated manufacturer of high-quality mechanic and service trucks, service cranes, service truck and van accessories, tire trucks and manipulators, hooklifts, fuel and lube trucks, trailers and more, continues to lead the charge in mobile power innovation with the introduction of the 2025 model year Hybrid Power Source (HPS) at Work Truck Week 2025, taking place March 4 – 7, 2025, in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Building on its reputation for cutting-edge mechanic trucks and power systems, Stellar is now implementing an annual model year structure for the HPS, ensuring its distributors and customers benefit from the latest advancements in battery technology and electric power solutions. This approach mirrors the newly introduced TMAX™ Aluminum Mechanic Truck model year structure, delivering continuous improvements in a structured, predictable format.
“With battery technology and electrification rapidly evolving, we want to ensure our customers have access to the most efficient and capable power solutions available,” said Tyler Havens, Product Manager at Stellar. “The model year approach allows us to bring updates to market in a streamlined, easy-to-adopt manner, reinforcing our commitment to innovation while making upfitting and product adoption more seamless for our distributors.”
Key Enhancements in the 2025 HPS:
● Flexible Battery Capacity: Users can upsize or downsize battery capacity based on their operational needs.
● Versatile Compatibility: Designed for both traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicle (EV)
chassis.
o EV Chassis: Functions as a standalone unit with a larger battery, not reliant on chassis charging.
o ICE Chassis: Can be charged using the chassis, enabling the use of a smaller, more cost-effective
battery setup.
● Slimmest & Lightest Configuration: Optimized design for reduced weight without sacrificing performance.
● Modular System: Offers different sizes for different needs, allowing for full customization.
● Seamless Equipment Integration: Directly integrates with Stellar ® cranes, compressors and stabilizers for
optimized performance.
● Efficient Pneumatic Operation: Standard HPS supports a standard 40P compressor — enough power to
effectively get the job done.
● Flow & Pressure Control: Ensures consistent pressure even as flow increases for improved efficiency.
● Quiet Operation: Designed for minimal noise, ideal for jobsites where sound levels matter.
● Technology Updates: Continual advancements to keep pace with the evolving electric power landscape.
A Smarter, More Sustainable Power Solution
The 2025 HPS is engineered to provide operators with greater flexibility, lower operating costs and environmentally friendly power without compromising performance. This next-generation power source is ideal for fleets looking to reduce fuel consumption, lower emissions and optimize operational efficiency in both conventional and electrified applications. Although the 2025 HPS will debut at Work Truck Week 2025, it will be available for purchase later in 2025.
