Montreal buses to run on biodiesel
Montreal buses to run on biodiesel
March 23, 2007, CBC News
Montreal's transit corporation is switching to biodiesel fuel and buying hybrid buses in an attempt to green its fleet and cut carbon emissions.
All Société de transport de Montréal (STM) buses will run on biodiesel fuel by 2008, and the transition should be fairly inexpensive, said president Claude Trudel.
Bus engines can run on biodiesel fuel without requiring any modifications, and the cost of a fill-up should be the same, says this report from CBC News, Canada

Purdue, USA - A new type of CityBus is driving the company into the realm of alternative energy.
CityBus bought six new buses, two of which use hybrid technology. The company considers the purchase an investment considering the hybrid buses cost an additional $195,000 than regular diesel buses.
The buses are expected to reduce fuel consumption somewhere between 25 and 30 percent, and the fuel savings could also translate into less emissions.
