Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Lou will be along momentarily but the simple answer is no and they probably will not ever. Edited to add not in any real quantity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arthuruscg 34 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 The hybrids might work in the fort but they are not a viable option for the rest of the buses. Hybrids are efficient when there is a lot of stopping with little distance covered. Also the fuel savings comes from shutting off the motors when stopped. I think people would riot if the AC cut off on a packed bus in August. Sent from my Moto X using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If we sit to long the motor kicks on and charges the batteries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
