Posted by RailBus63 on Thu Jul 25 20:03:46 2013, in response to ALL 389 MTA Bus Company's Orion VII hybrids to be converted/re-powered to DIESEL fuel only, posted by Gold_12th on Thu Jul 25 17:34:59 2013. What is the cost premium for a hybrid bus over a diesel? I've seen before estimated at approximately $150,000 per bus. If so, then buying these 390 buses as hybrids and now converting them to diesel ends up costing $110 million more than if they had just bought diesels in the first place. |
