Electric vehicles

Hybrid Electric Bus

Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) have two power sources. One converts fuel into useable energy, and the other, an electric motor powered by an advanced energy storage device, lowers the demand placed on the first power source.

Electric Bus

The battery electric bus is powered by electrochemical batteries which are charged using electricity from stationary power plants.
