Volvo Beginning Series Production of Hybrid Buses

Green Car Congress

Volvo’s hybrid buses have a downsized diesel engine and an electric motor that can operate the bus independently or jointly. When the bus brakes, the brake energy is utilized and stored in a battery, which then drives the electric engine when the bus accelerates again. This gives a quiet and exhaust-free environment at bus stops.
