 Driving Hybrid Buses

November 21, 2007

Dozens of cities and school districts are getting good marks for implementing hybrid buses that run on both diesel and electricity. In doing so, they are helping to commercialize a technology that proponents say will save fuel costs and prevent the release of harmful emissions.

Utilities are making a contribution to the cause. Duke Energy, Progress Energy, Dominion North Carolina Power and North Carolina electric cooperatives are participating with school districts nationally -- all part of a broader business and government consortium interested in seeing electric vehicles take off. The endeavor is well-timed given the attention paid to oil security and climate change along with the technical improvements in battery technology. While commercialization is the ultimate goal market support is still largely absent.
