AZDDF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Azure Dynamics, a Canadian manufacturer of electric components and powertrain systems for commercial vehicles, has sold five Balance Hybrid Electric buses to Votran, the transit entity for Volusia County in Florida, US.
According to Azure Dynamics, the Votran specified vehicles utilized a 22ft Turtle Top Odyssey body and are flexible enough to accommodate 14 passengers or four wheelchairs or various combinations of the two.
Votran is managed by McDonald Transit Associates. Votran expects to take delivery of the buses in the fourth quarter of 2009 and will integrate the buses into its county-wide paratransit service.
Azure Dynamics has said that the Hybrid Electric system specified by Votran has unique 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, is expected to improve fuel economy considerably while reducing carbon emission by up to 30% in city conditions.
Jay Sandler, vice president of sales at Azure Dynamics, said: "We are thrilled that our buses will service the needs of Voltran and McDonald Transit passengers. Azure's Balance Hybrid Electric is the ideal solution for transit providers who are trying to make an environmentally conscious statement while also reaping the cost rewards associated with our technology."
