About Low-floor Hybrid Buses
To comply with regulations and laws, bus manufacturers have actively invested in new alternative propulsion technologies that are fuel efficient and emit low emissions. Among various alternative propulsion technologies, such as the use of compressed natural gas (CNG) and ethanol blend as the energy source, one technology that has gained popularity in the recent time is hybrid powertrain system. This technology integrates a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) with a battery-electric motor system to power the bus.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global low-floor hybrid bus market to grow at a CAGR of 15.77% during the period 2016-2020.
