Abstract | The Metropolitan Transit Authority' York City Transit (NYCT) is the largest public transportation system in the United States and a leader in the use of clean bus technologies. NYCT launched a pilot fleet of hybrid electric buses in 1998. A larger fleet of next-generation production hybrid electric buses began entering service in 2004. The U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Vehicle Testing Activity (AVTA) evaluated NYCT's pilot fleet and is evaluating the production buses. This report provides an update on the evaluation of NYCT's production hybrid electric buses and reviews the evolution of hybrid electric bus technologies pioneered by NYCT and other progressive transit agencies. |
