This time in the form ofsix hybrid buses now being tested at four bus divisions.The buses were acquired for about 3.8 million, and since January, havebeen servicing patrons at the Venice, West Valley, North Los Angeles andSan Gabriel Valley divisions.According to Mike Bottone,Director of Equipment Engineering,the buses operate on ultracapacitors instead of batteries. Anultra capacitor is a high-powered,energy dense electronic unit thatprovides power duringacceleration, and then quicklyrecharges itself during normalbraking. In between theacceleration cycles and braking,the engine is turning a generatorthat supplies the required powerto the htm[10/12/2015 10:33:27 AM]Archives
Metro Report:The ultra capacitors are situatedat the roof of the bus, keeping thebus design similar to other Metrobuses.Metro put the hybrid bus on display atL.A.County's 'Spotlight' Conversation held atMetro on Earth Day.“When we do these type of things,we try to keep the buses as normal as possible,” Bottone said.Reduces emissions and saves fuelThe 630,000 bus uses a Ford Triton V-10 gasoline engine, which is similarto the engine used in several Ford models. The 42-foot long vehicle is twofeet longer than the standard bus, with room for two extra passengers.Not only will the hybrid technology help reduce emissions, it will also savefuel, he said.The typical diesel bus runs for 3.1 miles per gallon while early results showthat a hybrid can run as much as 3.75 to 4.0 miles per gallon dependingon the use.The beauty of the technology is that it allows the bus to accelerate up to50 miles an hour on hybrid energy - more than is needed for the stopand-go driving on many routes, said Bottone.The ride is quieter and because it reduces emissions, it is likely to helpMetro comply with California Air Resources Board (CARB) requirements setfor 2012, he added.Division 15 Transportation Manager Gary Spivack said, so far, the busesare getting mixed reviews from the operators.About 200
