RTA and GM Unveil Technology That Will Propel
Euclid Corridor
What:
A sneak peak of the
Euclid Corridor vehicle, featuring a hybrid diesel-electric engine.
With the recent buzz
around hybrid cars offering a solution to reducing the nation’s oil
dependence, now there’s mass transit vehicle entry on the market.
The vehicle, manufactured
by New Flyer Industries, is powered by a GM/Allison internal combustion
engine and hybrid transmission, consisting of two 100 kW motors and a
600-volt nickel metal hydride battery pack.
This unique
powertrain reduces particulate emissions by 90 percent.
And like
diesel-electric cars, it offers a 30 percent improvement in fuel
efficiency.
