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.
