hybrid buses
Mixed-engine public vehicles
Hybrid buses are public transit vehicles that combine a conventional internal combustion engine with an electric motor and battery system.
The dual power sources improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions compared to traditional diesel buses.
Most hybrid buses recapture energy during braking to recharge their batteries: The city replaced its aging fleet with hybrid buses to meet emissions targets.
