Our newest hybrid bus uses the latest technology
to make it the cleanest in the USA. How?
- Advanced engine and hybrid technology
- Optimized onboard systems for improved efficiency
- Reduced emissions from less time spent idling
- Less idling + more efficiency = buses that run cleaner and pollute less
Unlike other buses, even some hybrids, the Xcelsior uses super efficient All Electric components, many that eliminate power-sucking hydraulic systems. Instead, it uses an all Electric HVAC system, electric power steering rather than hydraulic and an electric air compressor to power pneumatic accessories like doors and airbrakes. Learn about all the vehicles in the Metro Transit fleet.
Not only is it super efficient, but it is also easier to maintain to keep it running at top efficiency.
