According to Azure Dynamics, the Azure Balance Hybrid Electric system specified by Metro Mobility has attributes like engine-off at idle and at below 20 miles per hour, while electronically supporting key ancillary functions like air conditioning, power steering and braking.
The drive train, with a Ford 5.4L engine, can improve fuel economy, while reducing carbon emissions by up to 30% in city conditions.
Jay Sandler, vice president of sales at Azure Dynamics, said: "The Metro Mobility buses represent another victory for our channel distribution strategy. By partnering with Hoglund Bus, a commercial vehicle distributor in Monticello, Minnesota, and Turtle Top Bus, a specialty vehicle manufacturer in New Paris, Indiana, we were able to submit a comprehensive bid that ultimately earned the Metro Mobility contract. In turn, the buses we provide Metro Mobility will help the organization lower its operating costs, substantially reduce greenhouse emissions and provide reliable transportation for residents in the twin cities region."
