In addition to being driven thousands of miles per year, these trucks are often left idling in residential neighborhoods to power the truck’s equipment, thereby exposing operators to diesel exhaust, wasting fuel and emitting pollution. A123 Systems has been developing the battery system for much of 2010 with Eaton.

BAE’s series hybrid system features no mechanical link between the diesel engine and the axle. Power flows in series from engine to generator to traction motor. Stop/start technology: With bus accessories powered by the Accessory Power Systems (APS), the engine can be shut off at stops to prevent idling and emissions.
