Posted by ABQ RIDE on Thu Aug 21 12:47:45 2008, in response to Re: ABQ RIDE (Albuquerque) to expand hybrid fleet, posted by lbt 9415 on Thu Aug 21 11:54:08 2008. I understand. I was just pointing out that the City of Albuquerque has largely abandoned CNG. The Daytona Transit Facility built in 2004 on the Albuquerque Westside isn't even equipped with CNG, so the CNG buses continue to operate out of the old Yale Transit Facility. Because of this, I don't see ABQ RIDE doing any more investments in CNG technology.They still perform remarkably well, and even if they are not repowered, I still think they can run at least three more years. In fact, they still perform better than the Thomas SLF232 CNGs, which have slow acceleration and frequent breakdowns. In fact, I have heard that the SLFs often make up more than half of all breakdowns. |
