Bowling Green,OH,USA -The Bowling Green News, by Steve Kunkler -25 Nov 2008: -- The technology department and NASA teamed to create a bus that is more environmentally friendly than traditional vehicles. The Electric Vehicle Institute, part of the technology department, and NASA have been working on alternative energies for over a decade. The result of their work can be seen driving around campus. The hybrid shuttle used by the University was the result of several people working together to find an alternative to traditional gas and diesel-powered buses... Among the key components of the hybrid shuttle is the Hybrid Booster Drive. The Hybrid Booster Drive is a system that complements the existing propulsion in vehicles that have the system installed. The system has four separate component modules, which are trademarked by the University covering how the system works...
