Hybrid Saf-T-Liner® C2e A bus that saves energy—and uses it again.
Thomas Built has a role to play when it comes to taking care of the earth. That role is helping reduce emissions and lower dependence on fossil fuels through alternative powered buses. The idea of a greener future is nothing new at our company. Daimler developed its first hybrid bus, the Mercedes OE302, back in 1969, and Daimler remains the world leader in green technology today. That extensive research and experience uniquely positions Thomas Built to provide innovative hybrid solutions, like our first hybrid electric vehicle, the Saf-T-Liner C2e. Introduced to the market in 2007, the C2e is based on Eaton's hybrid electric parallel system, which is powered by both a diesel engine and an electric motor/generator. The forward-thinking design and engineering is carried over from our innovative Saf-T-Liner® C2.
