Some advantages of the Series system includes:
- Allows engine to operate independently from the driver's throttle pedal, reducing emissions, fuel usage and noise.

- The engine can be replaced with a fuel cell.
- Most efficient energy system when the bus is operated in stop and go modes.
- Transmission is eliminated.
