With its electric-launch assist, engine-off at idle and regenerative braking, the Azure Balance hybrid electric is ideally suited for the tough start and stop conditions endured by shuttle buses, the company said.
As a result, Turtle Top customers who select the Balance Hybrid Electric can expect up to 40% improvement in fuel economy and up to 30% reduction in maintenance costs. The hybrid drive train is also expected to reduce greenhouse emissions by up to 30%, the company added.
Jay Sandler, vice president of sales at Azure Dynamics, said: "Although the relationship with Turtle Top is relatively new, it has already brought us success. Our recent 15 unit sale to Metro Mobility was a collaborative effort among Azure, Turtle Top and Hoglund Bus, a dealership in Monticello, Minnesota."
