The 40-foot “E-Bus” is based on New Flyer’s 40-foot Xcelsior heavy-duty transit bus and is powered by a 120 kWh lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack developed by MHI. Gravimetric energy density of the cells is 132 Wh/kg; volumetric energy density is 266 Wh/L. MHI also makes a 20Ah cell using the same chemistry.

In start-stop systems, the internal combustion engine is shut off when the driver stops and the engine is seamlessly restarted when the driver accelerates, which lowers emissions and improves fuel economy. Unlike batteries, which produce and store energy by means of a chemical reaction, ultracapacitors store energy in an electric field.
