1,700 orders for GM-Allison hybrid-powered buses

摘要

According to GM vice president of Vehicle Sales Service and Marketing Mark LaNeve, "Major orders from transit agencies in Washington D.C., Philadelphia and Minneapolis/St. Paul for up to 1,732 GM-Allison hybrid-powered buses will save an estimated 2.4 million gallons of fuel annually, enough to fill 300 tanker trucks." He added that, "These new deliveries will more than double the current fleet of nearly 1,000 GM-Allison hybrid buses, and potentially include the largest single hybrid bus fleet acquisition in history—an order for 952 by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority."
