Reduction of air pollution in densely populated urban areas is a driving factor in the development of alternative propulsion systems for urban transit vehicles. The concept of a hybrid transit bus offers a potential for significant fuel consumption and exhaust emission reductions as a result of the elimination of the transient operation of the engine and partial recuperation of braking energy. This paper assesses the technical and economic viability of the hybrid propulsion for a full-sized transit bus, with particular emphasis on the near-term diesel-electric system. The simulation results for fuel consumption and emissions are presented for daily service cycles, including morning and evening rush hours and off-peak hours. A comparative cost analysis versus the conventional bus is presented.
