Posted by The Flxible Neofan on Wed Jan 12 20:59:16 2011, in response to MTA bus future (part 1): buy less hybrid$ / more on: Diesel & CNG; WHY?, posted by gOlD_12tH on Sun Jul 11 02:18:40 2010. – MUCH CHEAPER then diesel electric hybrid bus ($175,000+ price difference per bus); plus you do not need to change/replace batteries, for lead acid is 2 to 3 years and lithium-ion is about 6 years, added weight with the hybrid components, higher maintenance cost. What wonderful savings!!!!I wonder if SEPTA and WMATA will ever figure this out. SEPTA plans to have a 100% hybrid bus fleet, and WMATA is close on its heels. Very interesting information! Thanks for sharing this. |
