Hybrid Buses * Canada - 141 heading to B.C. in 2009
Vancouver,BC,Canada -The Province, by Frank Luba -January 25, 2008: -- An $81.5-million deal for 141 diesel-electric hybrid buses will give bus riders the lowest-emission trips except for fully electric trolleys... The new vehicles from Quebec's Nova Bus won't arrive until 2009 and will be used in congested areas such as Vancouver and Burnaby because hybrids work best in stop-and-go traffic... Some 109 of the buses will replace older buses. The remaining 32 will expand the fleet, allowing 25 conventional buses to be transferred south of the Fraser River... Funding for the purchase is not part of B.C.'s $14-billion transit plan announced last week... (handout photo - A Nova Bus in service)Labels: hybrid buses
