The 2012 Chevrolet Silverado Hybrid was a groundbreaking model that sought to combine the power and capability of a full-size pickup truck with the fuel efficiency of a hybrid system. Based on the popular Silverado platform, this innovative truck incorporated a two-mode hybrid system, a technology first introduced by General Motors in 2007. This system, developed in collaboration with the renowned hybrid specialist, GM's own "Two Mode Hybrid" technology, enabled the Silverado Hybrid to seamlessly switch between electric-only driving for optimal fuel economy and gasoline power for maximum performance. The hybrid system's electric motors provided supplementary torque, assisting the gasoline engine during acceleration and heavy loads, further enhancing the towing and hauling capabilities of the truck.

The Silverado Hybrid's fuel-efficient nature was a game-changer, offering a significant reduction in fuel consumption compared to its standard gasoline-powered counterparts. This was particularly attractive to fleet owners and commercial users who frequently operate in urban environments where fuel economy is crucial. The truck's robust construction ensured durability and reliability, allowing it to handle challenging tasks while maintaining its environmental friendliness. However, the 2012 Silverado Hybrid's production run was relatively short, and its popularity was limited by its higher price compared to standard Silverado models. Despite its innovative features and potential, the Silverado Hybrid was discontinued after 2013, marking the end of Chevrolet's foray into the hybrid pickup truck market.
