hybrid bus
Electric-diesel public vehicle
A hybrid bus is a bus powered by both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, switching between or combining power sources to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
Most hybrid buses use regenerative braking to capture energy during stops—particularly efficient for urban routes with frequent stopping: The city replaced its diesel fleet with hybrid buses.
