Electric Hybrid

Some advantages of the Series system includes:

  • Allows engine to operate independently from the driver's throttle pedal, reducing emissions, fuel usage and noise.
  • Because the engine does not supply torque to turn the wheels, the engine can be sized much smaller than in a parallel system.
  • 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.
  • Will operate in pure electric mode.
