The AR20JE-H hybrid model is based on the existing lithium battery powered pure electric AR20JE/AR65JE, with four wheel drive, but can switch from pure electric to hybrid mode, thanks to a small Kubota or Deutz diesel - depending on region - available to maintain the battery pack charge level, or do a full self-contained recharge at the end of a shift.
