What is a Hybrid Bus?
A hybrid bus is a passenger vehicle that uses two power sources—typically a diesel engine and an electric motor—to optimize fuel consumption and reduce emissions. These buses offer an ideal balance between the zero-tailpipe potential of electric buses and the operational flexibility of conventional diesel buses.
Key Hybrid Bus Types:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Parallel Hybrid | Both the engine and electric motor can power the wheels independently or together |
| Series Hybrid | The engine acts as a generator to charge the battery, which powers the electric motor |
| Hybrid Trolley Bus | Can switch between overhead electric lines and battery power, offering flexibility on routes without extensive electric infrastructure |
