MATBUS Diesel-Electric Hybrid 35-Foot New-Flyer Bus What is meant by ‘hybrid’? The hybrid buses run on a diesel-electric propulsio n system. The engine and transmission system run on electricity up to approximately 35 miles per hour (mph). After the vehicle reaches 35 mph, the diesel system takes over. During deceleration, electrical energy is generated by using the transmission as a generator which results in an additional braking force applied to the bus. The bus system uses two (2) 75kW electric motor/alternators, a roof-mounted nominally 600V NiMH battery pack manufactured by Panasonic (who also make the Prius batteries), two (2) 160kW AC/DC oil-cooled inverters and two (2) electronic control units. Heres how hybrid technology works: Hybrid systems use two sources of power to move a vehicle, engine and battery. In the parallel hybrid system, the engine-generator combination works in parallel with the battery, furnishing electrical power to keep the battery charged. The engine is coupled to a drive unit that furnishes an infinitely variable ratio to the whee ls. This allows an engine in a hybrid system to run more efficiently, quietly and cleanly. For example, when the bus accelerates from a stop, the batteries can supply a powerful acceleration. This eliminates the excessive diesel cloud that an accelerating bus ty pically emits. A hybrid bus uses the diesel engine to maintain speed after the vehicle is underway. In this mode the engine also charges the electric power source, making the vehicle capable of self-sustaining mobility. What are some of the benefits of a hybrid? The hybrid electric system delivers about 25-50 percent better fuel economy than a conventional diesel system in urban transit bus applications. Buses equipped with the Allison EP System™ produce much lower hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions than conventional diesel buses, lowering parti
