Citilink Hybrid Buses
Please join Citilink officials as we celebrate the arrival of seven (7) new Hybrid buses. These new heavy duty transit vehicles were purchased with a combination of 100% federal stimulus (ARRA) funding, 80% discretionary federal funding for hybrid buses (championed by Senator Lugar), and local funds to replace vehicles that have met the end of their useful life.
These new transit vehicles run on a combination of ultra-low sulfur bio diesel fuel and Hybrid electric power. These buses will reduce our reliance on foreign oil, reduce overall operating costs, reduce pollution and maintain Citilink’s leadership status as a recognized “Fort Wayne Green City Business”.
Hybrid electric buses offer cleaner and more fuel-efficient performance than conventional diesel buses. We are expecting a 35%-45% fuel economy advantage; based upon experience by other transit systems operating this model of hybrid bus - manufactured by Gillig Corporation in California.
At current fuel prices, we anticipate fuel savings of $8,689 per bus per year. This coupled with reduced brake and transmission wear and maintenance expense result in significant operating cost savings. These funds can be redirected as additional resources to expand/maintain transit service.
Fort Wayne/Allen County has been declared an air quality non-attainment area. Hybrid buses are a proven method to reduce ozone and particulate matter to improve air quality. Vehicle manufacturer estimates indicate that 2010 hybrid electric buses are about 25 times cleaner in carbon dioxide emissions and 10 times cleaner in particulate matter emissions that the 1998 diesel engine buses that these new buses replace.
Further, Citilink continues its commitment to reduce ozone by offering free fare service on Ozone Action Days, and participating in the Clean Air Force campaign. Join us by “Doing What You Can Do” to improve air quality and reduce energy consumption.
For more information on hybrid buses or other Citilink service information call 432- 4546 or visit the website at www.fwcitilink.com. For more information on the Clean Air Force campaign visit the website atwww.thecleanairforce.org.

about hybrid buses 3
Hybrids have been taking control in the Eco awareness community. There are also automobiles, yachts and even buses that are Hybrid. Ecotalks has stated
“Volvo announced the launch of its new entry into the diesel-electric hybrid bus market. The hybrid Volvo 7700 is a 12-meter low-floor city bus that gets up to 30 percent better fuel economy and emits 40 to 50 percent less nitrous oxide and 30 percent less carbon, the company said. In addition, a smaller engine and nearly a third of the bus’ components are developed in-house by Volvo.
The hybrid Volvo 7700 uses “parallel hybrid” technology which allows the bus to be powered by either the electric motor or the diesel engine or both at the same time. I-SAM, the company’s hybrid technology, plans to use the same technology in its trucks and construction equipment after the buses go into mass production in 2010. Though the hybrid bus weighs more or less the same as a diesel-driven bus, it has a better weight distribution, which allows the hybrid bus to take more passengers than a comparable diesel bus. As a result, the bus’ performance is enhanced and fuel consumption is reduced.
According to a report by United Press International, the first of Volvo’s hybrid buses will begin testing on city streets in London and Gothenburg, Sweden, later this fall. Volvo is believed to start delivering hybrid diesel electric buses to customers in 2009 with mass production beginning in 2010.”
Now you can have an eco friendly travel when you want to go some place. Volvo has been helping a lot for the community and this Hybrid bus is a good contribution for the society and the planet.
about hybrid buses 2
Researchers of Sakarya University initiated a multidisciplinary research program in the year 2006 to evaluate the effects of Transport, Residential, and Industrial sourced air pollutants on urban air quality and the effects of the pollutants on human health. This research program, which is known as “Sakarya Air Quality Protection and Improvement (SAHAKK-I) Project”, was further supported by Sakarya Governorship and Sakarya Municipality. Then the aim of research programme was extended as providing scientific and technical support to policy makers and relevant industrial establishments for sustainable development.
Transport is crucial for economic and social development of a society as it serves a key role for transportation of goods and people. But it is not free of negative externalities. Operation of transport vehicles require energy use and this energy is mostly generated with fossil fuel combustion. Unfortunately, the fossil fuel combustion comes with both global emissions (CO2, N2O, CH4), which cause climate change, and local emissions (PM, NOx, HC, CO, O3), which cause adverse health effects and damage natural environment.
Road Transport has varieties of vehicles and each vehicle has its own advantages depending on the activity. Therefore, depending on the activity, transport vehicles must be optimized to mitigate such negative externalities and also to be ready for international requirements such as: UNECE convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution, European Community National Emission Ceilings Directive, and United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol.
Municipality busses that are used for urban transport are the main market for hybrid busses. The metropolitan municipalities of İstnabul, Ankara, and İzmir (the biggest three cities of Turkey) have more than 5000 busses for urban transport. Furthermore, the other busses that belong to legal persons are not included to this. This means the improvements made to urban transport by means of hybrid busses will have important effects on urban air quality and noise. Thus, these improvements will have a positive effect on human health and qulaity of life in urban area. Morever, any reduction in urban transport fuel consumption will provide important benefits for Turkish Economy.
As a main producer of urban transport busses, TEMSA R&D and Technology Ltd. is currently planning to develop and produce hybrid busses and improve both national and international market share of TEMSA R&D and Technology Ltd. One of the important step in the production is the quantification of the bus emissions in real world in-use conditions. Currnetly there is no world wide harmonized hybrid bus emission test protochol but EPA and EC-JRC completed their heavy-duty vehicle test protochol and working to extend their protochol to other vehicles.
In this sense being competible with EPA and EC-JRC and be ready for future legislative rules and limits will have positive effects on the competitveness and market share of TEMSA R&D and Technology Ltd. In order to do that v. wants to initiate a SANTEZ reserch project in collaboration with SAHAKK-I research group of Sakarya University. SAHAKK-I research group is known to be the only research group that performs research on real world in-use vehicle emissions in Turkey.
Since road transport is one of the main sources of urban air pollution in crowded cities of Turkey, quantifying and inventorying of the emissions are extremely important to search alternative methods to mitigate the air pollution. Buses, which are main vehicle for transportation of people in cities of Turkey, are one of the major air pollution sources of road transport and there is a strong need for searching alternative power sources for busses to minimize their emissions. In order to meet this need TEMSA R&D and Technology Ltd and Sakarya University want to search capabilities of hybrid busses to minimize the emissions and hence improve urban air quality.
As a result these two establishments propose the SANTEZ project objecting the measurement and modeling of the real world in-use emissions of busses, which is planned to be used as a tool in the decision-making process, for the buses in-use. This model is expected to have a capability to quantify the emissions of the conventional and hybrid busses in a trip with a given operating conditions. This model will provide scientific and technical support to TEMSA R&D and Technology Ltd for their decisions on the production of hybrid busses, and therefore increase their competitiveness with the best decisions on correct timing.

hybrid transit bus are they really green? story
Hybrid transit buses are starting to catch on with transit agencies around the country. But what’s the real story with these buses? Are they really cleaner and more fuel efficient than their conventional diesel counterparts? Under the Hood & Around the Nation
The majority of hybrid transit buses are currently being manufactured by three companies; General Motors(GM) Allison transmission, British Aerospace Engineering Systems, and ISE corporation. GM is planning to use the same technology from their hybrid bus to make their first real hybrid, a pickup to be offered in 2007. Hopefully the ability to share technology across vehicle types will allow them to keep costs down and compete with Toyota (though it is not clear that GM is so confident). Transit agencies in New York City, Seattle, San Francisco, and other cities around the country are investing in hybrid diesel buses, which promise to be more fuel efficient and lower emitting than conventional diesel buses (See chart). Hybrid Bus Emissions The same goes for hybrid transit buses. A recent study by the University of Connecticut measured the particulate emissions from two hybrid transit buses and two conventional diesel buses in over-the-road tests. The researchers found no decrease in particulate emissions from the hybrid buses compared with the conventional diesel buses. Of course, this would be much less of an issue if the buses were equipped with diesel particulate filters that can reduce particulate emissions by more than 85 percent. Diesel particulate filter technology can be employed on both conventional and hybrid diesel buses. Studies have shown lower emissions of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and other smog-forming emissions from hybrid buses than conventional diesel buses in full chassis dynamometer testing. However, the current Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emission certification method is based on bench testing the diesel-fueled engine only and does not account for the bus configuration and the full benefits of the hybrid drive system. As an interim solution, California is crediting hybrid diesel buses with a 25 percent NOx emission reduction over the engine certification values. Until a proper certification method is established, emission comparisons of hybrid buses will continue to be difficult. Fuel Economy: Potential Promise, but Questions Still Remain The fuel economy of hybrid transit buses is all over the map, but all are improvements over conventional technology. There are reports from transit agencies of fuel economy improvements of 10 percent all the way up to 50 percent, depending on variables such as series or parallel hybrid design, system optimizations, and the type of bus route. Some over-the-road tests are being carried out by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), but final results have not yet been released. However, preliminary results are promising with fuel economy tests showing a 25 percent to 50 percent increase for the hybrid buses being evaluated, depending in part on the conventional diesel used in the comparison. (See NREL’s website for further info). The Connecticut Department of Transportation is also performing in-use testing that shows hybrid buses netting a 35 percent fuel economy improvement over their fleet average, but only 10 percent greater than a comparable conventional diesel bus. More real-world testing and data collection, along with improvements to the hybrid systems themselves, should result in better estimates of fuel economy improvements of the different types of hybrid buses. One interesting development in the hybrid bus world is the introduction of gasoline hybrid buses. Diesels have typically been the power plant of choice for urban buses because of the extra torque diesel engines offer to haul a busload of people. Hybrid technology is enabling gasoline buses to compete in the same market because of the boost in torque the electric motor can give and the increased fuel efficiency that hybrid drive technology offers. The gasoline hybrids offered by ISE Corporation are certified to lower emission standards for NOx and particulate matter than their hybrid diesel and even natural gas counterparts. Cost and Maintenance | |||||
One advantage of diesel hybrids over natural gas buses is the relative ease for transit agencies currently using diesel buses to incorporate diesel hybrids into their fleet. Adopting natural gas technology requires installation of natural gas fueling and maintenance infrastructure that is not required for diesel hybrids (though diesel hybrids may require additional training and equipment for maintenance). For transit agencies looking only to purchase a few buses, hybrids may make sense. However, for transit agencies looking to purchase a large number of buses, a closer look at the full life-cycle cost and emission benefits of hybrids versus natural gas buses is required to make sure they are not paying more money for fewer emission benefits. A Promising, but Cloudy Future As with hybrid technology in cars and trucks, there is potential for significant fuel economy improvements and emission reductions from hybrid transit buses. So far, the results look promising. We’ll just have to wait and see how far manufacturers can go to improve emissions and fuel economy of hybrid transit buses, while lowering the overall cost of the buses. | |||||
Hybrid bus technology is similar to that used in hybrid cars and trucks, with options for both

citybus add more hybrild buses
Greater Lafayette CityBus is getting $480,000 in grant funding that will enable it to add three electric hybrid buses to its growing fleet of fuel-efficient buses.
The funding will come from the Lugar Electric Hybrid Bus Grants, and was announced this week by Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar and the Indiana Transportation Association.
THE IMPACT
With the addition of three hybrid buses from the grant, plus six other hybrid buses already purchased or planned for, by the end of this year 15 of CityBus' 70 buses will be hybrid, said John Metzinger, manager of development.
"Our board has been very committed to investing in hybrid technology," Metzinger said. "Fuel savings and environmental benefits are important to CityBus."
THE BACKGROUND
A total of $2.4 million was awarded to Indiana operators through the Lugar grants. It will pay for upgrading 15 buses from diesel to hybrid -- 10 in Indianapolis, two in Fort Wayne and three in Lafayette.
The bus companies are responsible for the cost of a standard bus and the grants will cover the conversion to electric hybrid technology, according to a press release from the Indiana Transportation Association.
QUOTABLE
"We are very grateful for the support Sen. Lugar has shown and continues to show for public transportation," said Marty Sennett, general manager of CityBus and president of the ITA.
"These hybrid buses will help us reduce emissions and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels."
