Abstract:This technical brief summarizes
information about the costs and benefits
that have been attributed to use of
hybrid transit buses as found in the
literature. Results from a demonstration
project that compared fuel economy
and emissions for 12 hybrid buses and 7
control buses for the transit agency for
Ames, Iowa and Iowa State University,
CyRide, were also included. Costs and benefits include initial
purchase cost differentials, savings
in fuel, reduced emissions, potential
reduced maintenance due to decreased
engine and brake wear, and replacement
costs for the hybrid battery pack. All
costs are listed in US dollars (USD).
