Hybrid TechnologyPerformanceNew Flyer has logged more on-road hours with hybrid technology than any other hybrid bus manufacturer in North America. We have minimized changes to the vehicle, ensuring a seamless introduction to bus fleets and operators. You can be assured that our buses will withstand the rigors of a demanding bus environment, as extensive testing at Altoonas Vehicle Testing Center has been completed on all New Flyer heavy-duty bus models.

MaintenanceDuring the design process, maintainability and repairability were two crucial issues that could not be compromised. New Flyer's development team limited the amount of new parts and procedures to assist customers who would eventually operate hybrid buses. As a result, customers have experienced virtually no impact to their current maintenance practices and technicians are immediately familiar with New Flyer's hybrid-electric buses. As with all New Flyer products, training, service, parts and documentation are available throughout North America. For more information, visit our website at www.newflyer.com.

SupportWith every new bus order, New Flyers documentation, service, training and support are a call away, ensuring your aftermarket needs are met. Our Parts Distribution Center has products and specialists on hand, keeping buses in top operating performance.

Options that fit your needsNew Flyer offers a choice of hybrid bus technologies in 30, 35 and 40-foot standard vehicles and 60-foot articulated vehicles. Customers can choose the best propulsion system that meets their service requirements: a dual-mode parallel hybrid system developed by Allison Electric Drives, or a full series hybrid drive system developed by ISE and Siemens.

Parallel Hybrid-Electric BusesNew Flyer diesel-electric hybrid buses reduce emissions by up to 90% when compared to conventional diesel-fueled buses and reduce vehicle noise throughout their entire operating range.

Power is drawn from two energy sources: a clean diesel, heavy-duty engine combined with a drive unit and electric energy from batteries located on the roof of the vehicle. The electronic control unit blends power from the two energy sources, whether electric (low speed), diesel (highway speed) or a combination, reducing emissions, optimizing fuel economy and reducing overall engine wear. Fuel consumption is reduced by up to 50% using regenerative braking technology, which captures energy as the vehicle slows and allows the internal combustion engine to operate at its most optimal range. As a result, harmful greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are reduced.

Series Hybrid-Electric BusesNew Flyer Series System buses use a smaller engine that is certified for mass transportation use. The engine is not directly coupled to the vehicle drivetrain. Operating at peak efficiency, it is connected to an electric generator that provides power to the wheels. The system works well in frequent stop-and-go service because the electrically-driven propulsion system has high torque at low speeds, providing smooth, fast acceleration regardless of the grade.

Most of the equipment required to support the bus, such as compressors, the HVAC system and air systems, is electrically powered, saving fuel and reducing emissions caused by these components.

The reliability of New Flyer buses is never compromised with technology. In fact, official maintenance reports from King County Metro in Seattle show a significant improvement in performance when using New Flyers 60 articulated hybrid buses. These units have been averaging over 7200 miles between trouble calls a 45% improvement over the fleet average (reported at less than 5000 miles). This report includes road calls for any reason, not just for the hybrid systems related issues. This means these buses are reducing the operating cost per mile and reducing the need for back-up vehicles to respond to in-service replacement.

From design to troubleshooting, New Flyer is committed to making diesel-, gasoline-, and hydrogen-electric hybrid buses the transportation technology standard that reduces operational costs and emissions for heavy-duty bus operators across North America.

As well as environmental quality advantages, the New Flyer hybrid electric bus has major advantages in lower fuel costs as well as operating and life cycle costs.

Greg Slocombe, BC Transit

SEPTA is extremely proud of our diesel-electric hybrid bus fleet manufactured by New Flyer. Our fleet is used in routine daily service with no special treatment and has achieved greater reliability numbers than its diesel counterpart.

Pat Nowakowski, SEPTA

It (the New Flyer DE60LF) performs well, provides

good comfort, has an acceptable noise level,

good emissions and excellent reliability. We're

very pleased with our fleet purchase of 213 vehicles

and the support New Flyer delivers with their product.
