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).
