HYBRIDS ADDRESS SOCIETAL CONCERNS AND PROVIDE OPERATIONAL BENEFITS



With consumers and companies becoming more sensitive to economic and environmental issues. Hybrid Electric Buses and Vehicles are now being recognized throughout the world.

Hybrid propulsion is making an impression in the transit bus industry.

There are about 400,000 school buses in operation in America today. On average, each vehicle in this huge fleet covers about 12,500 miles per year and burns about 1,925 gallons of fuel at 6.5 miles per gallon.

That adds up to over 1 billion gallons per year. If the fuel economy could be improved by 20% to 70%, the savings in terms of fuel cost and reduced emissions would be significant. - Keith Kladder, Marketing Manager, Navistar

Hybrids improve fuel economy and reduce emissions by using batteries and electric motors to augment the vehicle's internal combustion engine to improve efficiency.

Batteries can be charged using the vehicle's engine, from the power grid, or a combination of the two.
