Green Technology - Hybrid - Benefits
In the stop-and-go world of school bus driving, Thomas Built's Saf-T-Liner® C2e hybrid electric parallel system makes perfect sense. You gain fuel efficiency by using energy that's normally lost in braking.
Because the engine doesn't have to work as hard, it releases fewer emissions. That leads to cleaner air, lower dependence on fossil fuels, and up to 30% reduction in greenhouse gases.
